Akhbár-i-Amrí
From Bahaipedia
Akhbár-i-Amrí was a Persian language Bahá’í periodical published in Iran.
History[edit]
Akhbár-i-Amrí was founded in Tehran in 1922 as the Bahá’í news periodical for Iran, but it eventually developed into a journal.[1] It was initially the responsibility of a committee titled Lajnih-yi Nashr-i Nafahát (Committee for the Diffusion of the Divine Fragrances)[2] with Ahmad Yazdání being invited to serve as editor-in-chief by the National Spiritual Assembly of Persia, which he did until 1934.[3]
The journal eventually came under the direction of the National Spiritual Assembly of Iran and remained in publication until 1978.[4] Publication was suspended from 1955 to 1960 due to a period of increased persecution of the Bahá’í community of Iran.[5]
