Seven imprisoned Bahá'í leaders appeared in court for a second session of their trial. The session was once again closed and family members were not permitted in the courtroom. The hearing lasted just over one hour but did not go beyond procedural issues. No date was given for any future sessions.

On February 1st, 2010, Iran's Channel 3 began to air a series named "Saalhaaye Mashrooteh," which could roughly be translated as "The Years Leading to the Persian Constitutional Revolution [of 1905-1911]." The series begins with the significant historical events that lead up to the Constitutional Revolution, beginning with the ascension of the Qajar ruler Nasiri'd-Din Shah to the throne in 1848. In the process, two of the Central Figures of the Bahá'í Faith, the Báb (1819-1850) and Bahá'u'lláh (1817-1892), are also inserted in the series not to offer authentic history but to bolster age-old anti-Bahá'í conspiracy theories regarding the genesis and development of the Bábi and Bahá'í religions. This short essay will address some of the historical inaccuracies present in the series, so readers can assess whether this is an attempt at portraying accurate history or simply another premeditated attack on the Bahá'í Faith.
