Exclusive Report from the Persian-Speaking Christian News Network

A summons issued by the Fourth Branch of the Revolutionary Court of Dezful County has been issued against eight Christians in this county on charges of propaganda against the system.

Over the past 42 years, the arrest and detention of leaders and members of house churches in Iran on charges of propaganda against the system and actions against national security by the system’s revolutionary courts has been a precedent, and many Christians have been sentenced to lengthy prison terms because of their faith.

The ruling was issued for Alireza Roshanai Zadeh, Alireza Vark Sha, Masoud Noei, Mohammad Ali Torabi Shangari, Hojjat Lotfi Khalaf Jooei, Mohammad Kaedegap, Mohsen Saadatzadeh, and Ismail Narimani Pour by the Revolutionary Court of Dezful County under circumstances in which widespread anti-government protests by the people have encompassed the entire province of Khuzestan.

It should be noted that on Monday, April 19 (Farvardin 30), at around 7:30 in the morning, following a raid by security forces on the homes of Ali Vark Sha, Hojjat Lotfi Khalaf, Ismail Narimani Pour, and Mohammad Ali Torabi, they were arrested and the security forces, after searching their homes, also confiscated their mobile phones.

The summons from the Revolutionary Court of Dezful County was issued following their arrest and temporary release.
