Arrr mateys! The scurvy dogs in Iran be givin' the Christians a rough go. They be crackin' down on Protestants and other Christian folk, causin' quite a ruckus. 'Tis a fine mess they be makin'!
Despite Iran's claims of allowing the Christian minority to practice their faith in peace, the reality for many Iranian Christians is rife with whippings, arrests, imprisonment, surveillance, and harassment, as reported by Article 18. Shockingly, Christians arrested in 2023 faced harsh punishments such as prison sentences, fines, flogging, and digging graves as community service.Rev. Johnnie Moore highlighted the dire situation in Iran, where the regime persecutes Christians and women, driven by fear of their power and resolve. The Iranian church, led mostly by women, is rapidly growing underground, defying the oppressive regime.Despite condemnation from the U.S. State Department and calls for action against Iran's violations of religious freedom, the persecution of Christians continues unabated. The Iranian regime's violent crackdown on Christians, including threats, torture, and killings, has only intensified over the years.The plight of Iranian Christians, facing severe persecution and restrictions on practicing their faith, has led to the formation of underground house churches. The international community is urged to press Iran to uphold religious freedom and address human rights violations in dialogues with the regime.
