IRAN: Protestant clergyman tortured for converting Muslims

Isfahan: Protestant clergyman tortured for “converting Muslims”
A protestant clergyman, Wilson Issavi, has been jailed for “converting Muslims”. He has been tortured and threatened with execution. According to the Farsi Christian Network, Issavi’s wife, Medline Nazanin, recently visited her husband in prison. She said that he was in poor health and that he bore visible signs of torture.

Rev Issavi (pictured), 65, was arrested on 2 February in Isfahan shortly after he finished a house meeting. He heads the Evangelical Church of Kermanshah in Isfahan, a 50-year-old church body affiliated with The Assemblies of God that caters to the local Assyrian population.

Iranian intelligence officials told his wife that he might be executed for his alleged activities.

During the raid, State Security police detained everyone in the house, later releasing all but Issavi and the owner of the home.

According to Compass Direct News, a sweep against Protestant Christians is taking place across Isfahan. On 28 February, Isfahan residents Hamid Shafiee and his wife Reyhaneh Aghajary, both converts from Islam and house church leaders, were arrested at their home. Their fate and whereabouts are still unknown.
WE NEED TO LIBERATE THE PERSIAN PEOPLE FROM THEIR ISLAMIC TYRANTS.

CONVERSION IS ONE WAY.

THAT'S WHY THE MULLAH TYRANTS KILLED THESE PRIESTS: THEY KNOW THAT ON EQUAL FOOTING IN A WORLD WITH RELIGIOUS FREEDOM THAT ISLAM DOESN'T STAND A CHANCE.

ISLAM DID NOT PROSELYTIZE IT'S WAY TO 1 BILLION BELIEVERS; IT GOT THERE VIA TERROR AND VIOLENT CONQUEST.

WITHOUT TERROR, TYRANNY AND COERCION, THERE CAN BE NO ISLAM.

THAT'S WHY THEY EXECUTE APOSTATES.

THE FREE WORLD OUGHT TO BE DEMANDING THIS PRIEST'S IMMEDIATE RELEASE.

IT'S A SCANDALOUS SHAME THAT THE FREE WORLD IS SILENT.

FREEDOM OF RELIGION IS A FUNDAMENTAL AND UNIVERSAL HUMAN RIGHT.

IF THE PRESENT REGIME IN IRAN CAN'T ALLOW RELIGIONS FREEDOM, THEN THEY HAVE NO RIGHT TO RULE.
