TEHRAN, IRAN (BosNewsLife)--
Massive arrests of evangelical Protestant Christians, including many
former Muslims, are reported in Iran, with men and women being dragged
to prisons across the Islamic nation.
"We have learned that at least 100, but perhaps as many as 400 people,
have been detained over the last 10 days," said Firouz Khandjani, a
council member of the 'Church of Iran' house church movement.
Speaking from an undisclosed location, he told BosNewsLife late
Saturday, October 13, that forces of the feared intelligence service,
who he called "Iran's Gestapo", broke up worship services in Esfehan,
Shiraz and Tehran areas.
"They are of several movements. But it has become clear that Protestant
Christians are now viewed as enemy number one of the state," Khandjani
said. "We need urgent prayers," he added when asked what believers need
most.
