Release rallies support against apostasy law in Iran

[Christianity Today UK] 8 Oct 2008--Release International has launched a viral video to help Christians in Iran, where converts from Islam may soon face the death penalty.

The video's launch follows the vote in the Iranian parliament overwhelmingly in favour of executing citizens found guilty of apostasy, or changing their faith.

The viral video has been made deliberately short so that it can easily be sent by email to friends and contacts.

The aim is to raise prayer and put pressure on the Iranian Government, as Tehran moves closer to imposing a mandatory death penalty on anyone leaving Islam.
