Remy Rowhani, the leader of Qatar's Baha'i community, has been sentenced to five years in prison for social media posts that authorities allege cast doubt on the foundations of Islam. The verdict was delivered by a three-judge panel, despite appeals for leniency due to Rowhani's heart condition. International organizations and United Nations experts have condemned the sentence, describing it as a violation of religious freedom and part of a broader pattern of discrimination against Baha'i followers in Qatar. The case highlights ongoing repression of Baha'i communities in parts of the Middle East, drawing criticism from rights groups worldwide.
