giovanni,
Qual è l’elenco di vigilanza mondiale?

Gli iraniani etnici sono considerati musulmani ed è illegale svolgere ogni attività cristiana nel loro linguaggio farsi. Un uomo iraniano che lascia l’islam può essere condannato a morte e una donna a carcere, anche se queste condanne non sono state condotte per più di 20 anni. Almeno 193 cristiani sono stati arrestati o imprigionati in Iran nel 2016, mentre un rash di rigide pene condannate a metà del 2017 – principalmente convertiti al cristianesimo, ciascuno condannato a dieci anni o più. Alcuni cristiani iraniani imprigionati hanno intrapreso proteste contro la fame.

Il cristianesimo si sta diffondendo rapidamente tra i giovani in alcune delle città più religiosamente conservatrici dell’Iran, causando preoccupazione tra i principali chierici islamici, che incolpano l’influenza straniera, secondo Mohabat News.

What is the World Watch List?

Ethnic Iranians are seen as being Muslim, and carrying out any Christian activities in their Farsi language is illegal. An Iranian man who leaves Islam can be sentenced to death and a woman to life imprisonment, although such sentences haven’t been carried out for more than 20 years. At least 193 Christians were arrested or imprisoned in Iran in 2016, while a rash of harsh jail sentences followed in mid-2017 – mainly of converts to Christianity, who were each sentenced to ten years or more. Several imprisoned Iranian Christians have undertaken hunger strikes in protest.
