Georgia shuns  Iranian believers

Holy Trinity Holy Trinity

Iranian Christians who seek a new life in the Caucasus nation of Georgia after fleeing persecution in their homeland face rejection there too, a report says.

A joint report published this month by Article 18, Christian Solidarity Worldwide, Open Doors, and Middle East Concern says that Iranian Christians are being refused asylum in the country because they are not Orthodox.

In Iran, converting to Christianity from Islam or owning a Farsi-language Bible is illegal and punishable by imprisonment.
