Christians in Iran are suffering from a surge in religious persecution, according to the non-profit human rights and religious freedom organization called “Article 18.”
According to the 40-page report released by the London-based NGO in February – Faceless Victims: Rights Violations Against Christians in Iran – the Christian minority living under the Iranian regime is subject to whippings, arrests, imprisonment, surveillance and harassment for practicing their faith.
“By the end of 2023, at least 17 of the Christians arrested during the summer had received prison sentences of between three months and five years, or non-custodial punishments such as fines, flogging, and in one case the community-service of digging graves,” the Article 18 report noted.
“Despite a comparable number of Christians being arrested in 2023 as in previous years – 166 arrests were documented in 2023, compared to 134 in 2022 – fewer names and faces could be publicized.”
