[The Christian Post] 28 May 2008--Police in a southern city in Iran reportedly arrested 12 Christian converts from Islam in what appears to be part of a crackdown on the country’s growing house church movement.
The first arrests took place on May 11 at the Shiraz International Airport when two Christian couples were taken into custody before boarding their flight. They were all sent to jail and interrogated for hours “just about their faith and house church activities,” an Iranian source told Compass Direct News, a Christian persecution watchdog group.
Also on the same day, authorities raided the home of Hamid Allaedin Hussein, 58, and arrested him and members of his family.
Out of the 12 Christian converts arrested, eight have been released.
