Editing Bábism (section)

====Nayriz upheaval====
Meanwhile, a serious but less protracted struggle was waged against the government at [[Neyriz]] in [[Fars province|Fars]] by Yahya Vahid Darabi of Nayriz. Vahid had converted around 1500 people in the community and had thus caused tensions with the authorities which led to an armed struggle in a nearby fort.{{sfn|Smith|2000|p=260}} The Bábís resisted attacks by the town's governor as well as further reinforcements. After being given a truce offer on 17 June 1850, Vahid told his followers to give up their positions, which led to Vahid and the Bábís being killed; the Bábí section of the town was also plundered, and the property of the remaining Bábís seized.{{sfn|Smith|2000|p=260}} Later, in March 1853 the governor of the city was killed by the Bábís. These further events led to a second armed conflict near the city where the Bábís once again resisted troop attacks until November 1853, when a massacre of Bábís happened, with their women being enslaved.{{sfn|Smith|2000|p=260}}
