The Baha'i International Community made a statement on the situation of the Baha'is in Iran at the 22nd session of the Human Rights Council. The statement said that "the number of Bahá'ís in prison [in Iran] has doubled in the past two years, remaining over 100 throughout 2012." It also pointed out that the the violations of human rights in Iran extends to more than just the Baha'is.  It thus asked the Council to "call upon Iran to fulfill its obligations under international law."
