"God's avenging wrath" had removed, early in April, 1952, the son of Siyyid 'Ali, Nayer Afnan, who was to have been a star witness for the Covenant-breakers in the lawsuit brought to challenge the authority conferred upon the Guardian in 'Abdu'l Baha's Testament, by virtue of which he is Custodian of Baha'i Holy Places.
A few months later, in December, 1953, the Guardian cabled that three others of the few remaining who had shown faithlessness to 'Abdu'l-Baha had been struck down -- Avarih in Persia, Fareed in the United States, and Falah in Turkey. The Guardian stated: "All three, however blinded (by) perversity, could not have failed (to) perceive, as (their) infamous careers approached (their) end, (the) futility (of their) opposition, (the) measure (of their) own loss (and the) degree (of) progress (and) consolidation (of the) triumphant Administrative order (so) magnificently celebrated (in the) course (of the) festivities (of the) recently concluded Holy Year."
