Iran Upholds Harsh Sentences for Christians
Faith Facts
- Five Christians in Iran had their prison sentences upheld for engaging in faith activities.
- These believers faced intense pressure to renounce their faith and additional abuse during detention.
- Iran is ranked among the worst nations for Christian persecution, especially against converts.
The steadfast faith of Christ’s followers in Iran shines even while persecution increases.
Despite harsh treatment, these Christians refused to abandon their beliefs, standing firm on the foundation of their hope in Jesus.
Iran’s justice system continues to target those who do not conform to state religion, labeling simple acts of worship and discipleship as threats.
This oppression reflects the challenges Christian converts face under a regime that fears the liberating truth of the Gospel.
Historic Christian communities suffer discrimination and are denied the freedom to openly share the message of salvation in the native Persian language. Faithful Iranians must risk much just to gather, pray, or own a Bible.
American Christians are called to lift up their brothers and sisters across the world through prayer and advocacy. Standing for religious liberty defends not only the oppressed but upholds the Biblical value of freedom in Christ.
