The Candlelight Observance held on Saturday, September 26, in Richland, WA. was a reminder of the time in 1998 when the Iranian government arrested at least 36 members of the Bahá'í Institute of Higher Education's faculty and staff. Equipment and records located in over 500 homes was also confiscated. The materials confiscated were neither political nor religious. The people arrested were not fighters or organizers. They were lecturers in subjects like accounting, computer science, civil engineering and literature. the materials seized were textbooks and laboratory equipment.
