Iranian Christians to go on trial



Five members of the Church of Iran are to go on trial next week on charges of disturbing public order, Christian Solidarity Worldwide has learned.

The trial will be held on Sunday at the Revolutionary Court in Shiraz, Fars Province. The Christians have been detained since October last year. They are Mohammad Roghangir, Surush Saraie, Eskandar Rezaie, Shahin Lahooti and Massoud Rezaie.

Charges against the five men also extend to evangelising, action against national security and an internet activity against the system. Read more
