Iran Releases Jailed Convert to Christianity
One month after ordering his arrest, Iranian court authorities in the northern city of Rasht have released Christian convert Issa Motamedi Mojdehi, declaring the former Muslim “free for the moment.â€Â
Compass Direct News reports Motamedi Mojdehi was granted bail August 24 on the basis of a written guarantee from a fellow Christian, who signed over his personal work charter to a revolutionary court in order to obtain the prisoner’s release.
Although the initial drug charges that were the pretext for Motamedi Mojdehi’s arrest remain in his legal file, the judge introduced new accusations against him at his August 24 hearing.
According to unnamed “confidential witnesses,†the judge said, the convert’s 8-year-old daughter Martha allegedly had been trying to lead other children to the Christian faith.
