who are persecuted on grounds of their faith; to provide a forum for
the exchange of ideas central to Bahá'à principles that are of
relevance to members of the legislature (eg human rights, social
cohesion )'

accept nomination for elections, Bahá'Ãs cannot be MPs, and therefore
do not sit in this group's membership.
