ICC Note: Christianity in Iran is seen as a threat because it is considered a Western influence by many, including Islamic radicals. Many have experienced forced church closures, unjustified arrests, violence and even death as a result of this persecution. Therefore, many Christians have been forced to leave their country and seek asylum elsewhere.

12/21/2017 Iran (Pakistani Christian Post) – Iranian Christians request prayer for four Christian converts from the self-styled “Church of Iran” who were arrested in their homes, in Karaj on 12th December 2017.

Authorities went to the homes of Amin Khaki, Milad Goudarzi, Shahab Shahi and Alireza Nourmohamadi, where house church meetings were taking place.

After arrests, the men were taken to an unknown location. They have informed their families of their well-being, but remain detained pending the laying of charges.
