An
Iranian court sentenced 18 Christians to prison for practicing their faith, Ben
Weinthal, a research fellow for the Foundation for Defense of
Democracies reported Tuesday
for Fox News.
Iran’s revolutionary court
imposed harsh prison sentences last week on 18 Christian converts for charges
including evangelism, propaganda against the regime, and creating house
churches to practice their faith, according to sources with knowledge of the
Islamic Republic’s secretive judicial system. …
“The cruelty of Iran’s
dictatorial leaders knows no limits,” Saba Farzan, the German-Iranian executive
director of Foreign Policy Circle, a strategy think tank in Berlin, told
FoxNews.com.
The Christians, many of whom were arrested in 2013,
were sentenced in accordance with Article 500 of the Islamic Penal Code, a
vague law used as a catch-all criminal statute to penalize threats to Iran’s
clerical rulers. According to the law, “Anyone who engages in any type of
propaganda against the Islamic Republic of Iran or in support of opposition
groups and associations, shall be sentenced to three months to one year of
imprisonment.”

Domnul sa se indure de fratii nostri din Iran. Ei au nevoie de putere si ocrotirea Domnului prin toate incercarile prin care trec acum.
În tot Orientul Apropiat frații noștri sunt tratați ca niște oi de tăiat. Se cuvine să ne rugăm pentru ei și pentru familiile rămase în urma celor martirizați! Domnul să îi mângăie și să îi întărească!
