(after covering Buddhism and Christianity) The next religion in Laos by order of importance is the Baha’i faith. This faith was brought to Laos by Said, an Iranian businessman, who arrived in Laos on business in 1952 and established a charitable organisation in Vientiane. The real aim of this organisation was to spread the Baha’i faith. A conference of Baha’i believers took place in Vientiane in March 1994, which established the ‘Society of Justice’ (‘Khana lakthamma yutitham’) and a national council of nine members. According to its statute, the aim of the society is to preach the values of love and mutual assistance. It has branches in five provinces and around 10,000 adherents. The society has founded several commercial organisations, which are the main source of funding for its activities. … In late 2000 I visited Luangphrabang and Savannakhet provinces, including rural areas, to meet NCF officials responsible for religious affairs and the leaders of Evangelical, Adventist and Baha’i congregations, to attend their services, to talk to parishioners. Neither the Adventists nor the Bahai’s had any problems with the authorities. Only the Evangelicals had made some complaints: that the authorities were prohibiting them from preaching and proselytising among national minotities, hindering them in their attempts to open new churches, and preventing them from publishing religious literature, including the Bible. Nothing was said about closing churches or imprisoning clergy. Of course my interlocutors were probably being cautious; but I believe that had there been current cases of gross abuse I would have had my attention brought to them one way or another.
