Back onto the topic: it's all about power of each country within the international community.
Pakistan? Nukes

Iran did ban the Baha'i from all assembly and administrative institutions... I guys they can sit quietly at home and think about their religion. It's illegal to teach anyone or print literature on the subject though.
Things like apostacy and promoting non-shia religions are still punishable by death.
