[OneNewsNow] 18 Oct 2008--Iranian converts to Christianity may soon face legal execution.

According to Compass Direct News, two middle-aged Iranian Christians have been released from prison, after being in jail for apostasy since May 15. Parliament has already passed a bill calling for execution on the basis of apostasy, but it will be debated again in the Legislative Commission before Parliament votes on it again at the next session.
