E/CN.4/1996/95/Add.2 page 23 his mandate, remain vigilant about developments in their situation in the field of tolerance and non-discrimination based on religion or belief. 105. The Special Rapporteur wishes to express his concern about the other non-Muslim Baha’i and Protestant minorities, while recognizing and welcoming the recent first indications of improvement in some fields. 106. With regard to the Baha’is, the Special Rapporteur hopes that a clear distinction will be drawn between questions of belief and other questions of a political nature if the latter exist or arise. In that connection, it should not be presumed that the entire community has been politicized or is engaged in political or espionage activities. Considering the religious principles of the Baha’i community, the Special Rapporteur believes that there should not be any controls that might, through prohibition, restrictions or discrimination, jeopardize the right to freedom of belief or the right to manifest one’s belief. He also wishes to point out that article 1, paragraph 3, of the 1981 Declaration stipulates that: "Freedom to manifest one’s religion or belief may be subject only to such limitations as are prescribed by law and are necessary to protect public safety, order, health or morals or the fundamental rights and freedoms of others." 107. For this reason, the Special Rapporteur recommends that the ban on the Baha’i organization should be lifted to enable it to organize itself freely through its administrative institutions, which are vital in the absence of a clergy, and so that it can engage fully in its religious activities. Likewise, all the community and personal property that has been confiscated should be returned and the places of worship that have been destroyed should be reconstructed, if possible, or, at least, should form the subject of compensatory measures in favour of the Baha’i community. The Baha’is should also be free to bury and honour their dead. Concerning freedom of movement, including departure from Iranian territory, the Special Rapporteur believes that the question on religion should be deleted from passport application forms and that this freedom should not be obstructed in any way. 108. While recognizing the freedom to change one’s religion, the Special Rapporteur believes that it is essential that any conversion should result from free choice and not from coercion. 109. The Special Rapporteur wishes to emphasize that no discrimination should impede access by the Baha’is to education in higher educational establishments or to employment in the administration and in the private sector. 110. With regard to the judiciary, the Special Rapporteur reiterates the recommendations formulated concerning the recognized minorities. 111. On the subject of security of person, the Special Rapporteur notes with satisfaction that there has been an improvement in the situation with regard to arrests and, apparently, executions. He points out that the physical integrity of any person should not be affected by the person’s religion or belief. 112. The Special Rapporteur calls on the Iranian authorities to review or set aside the death sentences passed on Baha’is and to promulgate amnesties or any other appropriate measures to prevent the enforcement of the penalties imposed.
