Rowshan Kuh (Persian: روشنكوه, also Romanized as Rowshan Kūh[1] or Roshankouh[2]) is a village in Garmab Rural District, Chahardangeh District, Sari County, Mazandaran Province, Iran. At the 2016 census, its population was 25, in 11 families.[3] Down from 34 people in 2006.[4]
Rowshan Kuh has a substantial Baháʼí Faith population. Since 2016, authorities have bulldozed and confiscated Baháʼí land on several occasions, on spurious grounds that development is encroaching on protected lands. For example, on 2 August 2022, 18 Baháʼí homes were demolished, and over 20 hectares (49 acres) were confiscated. Amnesty International has characterized this campaign as part of a widespread persecution of Baháʼís by the Iranian government, noting that at least 18 Baháʼí farmers have lost their livelihoods as of August 2022.[2]
