A Christian who was sentenced to Iran’s notorious Evin Prison in Tehran has been released, a report confirms, apparently as part of the rogue Islamic regime’s celebration of its 44th anniversary.
Decision Magazine is reporting the religious liberty organization Article 18 announced the release of Mehdi Roohparvar.
“Roohparvar was arrested in January 2019, when intelligence agents raided several homes in the capital city of Tehran. He was convicted of ‘acting against national security by forming a house-church’ and sentenced in October 2020 to five years in prison,” the report said.
His sentence had been delivered then by Mohammad Moghiseh – who is known as the “Judge of Death” for his extreme intolerance for prisoners of conscience, according to Human Rights in Iran.The release apparently is part of an amnesty effort connected to the anniversary of the foundation of the Islamic Republic.
Two others, Saheb Fadaie and Moslem Rahimi, were released just last month.
