  • Iran: Christians released

    Morning Star News

    Human-rights advocates are mystified about why two Christians, imprisoned in Iran for their church leadership roles, have been freed a few days after a fire broke out in Tehran’s notorious Evin Prison.

    The leaders are Pastor Naser Navard Goltapeh, who had spent two months in solitary confinement, and Fariba Dalir, who was jailed for starting a house church. She had spent 38 days in solitary confinement. Both pardons were unexpected and had previously been denied. One theory is that Evin Prison is hosting Mahsa Amini protestors and is quickly running out of space.
