A Baha'i Perspective: Bahman Payman




A Baha'i Perspective show

Summary: A Baha'i from Iran who came to the United States to finish his medical schooling. After completing his schooling, he returned to Iran and worked at a Baha'i hospital called Red Lion Society. When the Khomeini regime took over, they confiscated the hospital, assassinated the chief of staff, Dr. Hakim, and arrested or killed other Baha'i physicians working there. Bahman and his family happened to be in the US when this happened, so he stayed in the US and practiced medicine here. He's now retired and is volunteering for two Baha'i-inspired institutions, Health for Humanity and the Tahirih Justice Center.
