Iran arrests two Christian women
by Scott Gilbreath ~ March 31st, 2009
Farsi Christian News Network (FCNN) reports that two Iranian Christian women were arrested and imprisoned earlier this month solely because of their faith.
On March 5th 2009, two Iranian Christian women, Miss Marzieh Amirizadeh Esmaeilabad (30), and Miss Maryam Rustampoor (27), were arrested by the Iranian security forces. Their only crime is that they are committed Christians who follow the teachings of Jesus. They are being unfairly labeled as ‘anti-government activists’, because of the hostility of the government towards practising Christians.
After several interrogations and a court appearance, bail was set at the absurdly high amount of US$400,000. They are being held without charge in the notorious Evin Prison.
FCNN also reports the two women are in serious need of medical attention.
