In its World Report 2011: Iran, Human Rights Watch observes: The government denies adherents of the Baha'i Faith - Iran's largest non-Muslim religious minority - freedom of religion. In August the judiciary convicted seven leaders of the national Baha'i organization to 20 years each in prison; their sentences were later reduced to 10 years each. The government accused them of espionage without providing evidence and denied their lawyers' requests to conduct a prompt and fair trial.
