A group of at least eight Christian converts were beaten and arrested by
Iranian authorities while they were gathered for worship inside a house church
in the city of Karaj, an Iranian resistance group has
reported.
According to the National Council of Resistance of
Iran, plainclothes officers raided the
church earlier this month as part of a wide crackdown on house
churches.
After raiding the house, the officers beat up the congregants and then
confiscated their Bibles, other Christian literature and satellite dishes
located on the premises.
Eyewitnesses said the worshipers were arrested and put into a van to be
taken to an undisclosed prison for detention. Although three of the Christian
converts were reportedly released on bail, there is no information regarding the
condition of those converts who remain detained. However, six of the Christians
arrested have been identified.
