Revolutionary Guards Report Arrest of Christian Preachers
The Information Organization of the Seyyed al-Shohada Revolutionary Guards Corps in Tehran Province announced measures against what it described as a “network for propaganda and promotion of evangelical Christianity” in the cities of Tehran, Rey, and Pardis. The organization claimed to have arrested several suspects in this connection.
According to Mehr news agency, the Information Organization of the Seyyed al-Shohada Revolutionary Guards Corps in Tehran Province claimed on Tuesday morning that “through a series of intelligence operations, an extensive network that, under the pretext of promoting evangelical Christianity and home churches, was engaged in undermining Abrahamic religions, disturbing public opinion, and misleading minds in public and virtual spaces, was identified and dismantled in the cities of Tehran, Rey, and Pardis.”
The Revolutionary Guards Information Organization emphasized: “In this connection, a number of suspects were arrested along with discovered documents and evidence and handed over to judicial authorities.”
The information organization provided no further details about the number and identity of those arrested.
It should be noted that the Iranian government, despite recognizing Christianity as an official religion in its constitution, makes considerable efforts to prevent citizens from converting to this faith and to counter the activities of activists of this religion.
