Human Rights Activists in Iran
On April 14, a number of plainclothes agents who introduced themselves as agents of the Ministry of Intelligence attacked a home used as a church by Christians in Karaj. These agents threatened those in the church and beat and insulted father Behnam Irani. They subsequently arrested him and took him to an unknown location.
These forces were armed with guns in the attack. They interrogated all those in the church asking them to fill out forms. They were forced to answer questions such as who converted them to Christianity, how they were converted, why they had converted and who baptized them.
They were also threatened and told that they had participated in a ceremony in an illegal church. These agents also stressed that they would be called in the next few days and had to come to the Intelligence Agency to answer further questions.
These 10 young Christians in the church were only participating in a religious ceremony.
