Two imprisoned Iranian Christians in poor health
by Scott Gilbreath ~ April 4th, 2009
In a follow-up to this story, Marzieh Amirizadeh Esmaeilabad (30) and Maryam Rustampoor (27), the two Christian women recently arrested by Iranian security agents, have now been in custody for 28 days and are reportedly suffering poor health.
Assist News Service has received a press release from Elam Ministries about their condition.
“They are in a cell with 27 other women and the terrible living conditions have caused both to suffer ill health. They have not been allowed to see a doctor. However, they are very encouraged that Christians around the world are praying for them.”
Elam Ministries says: “There is a possibility that they can be released on bail soon. If this happens they will still have to face a court case with the possibility of being sentenced to life imprisonment.”
The only crime these two brave women have committed is to be disciples of Jesus.
Please pray for the health and safe release of Maryam and Marzieh.
