12 Iranian #Christians have been arrested in a coordinated operation across 3 cities (#Tehran, #Karaj & #Malayer) by #RevolutionaryGuard intelligence agents. Dozens more ordered to provide contact details and told they'll soon be summoned for questioning. https://t.co/hCaYPglyTu
Ramiel Bet-Tamraz was yesterday released from prison, his sister @DabrinaT confirms to @articleeighteen, as concerns mount in #Iran over the potential for #coronavirus to spread rapidly within its overcrowded #prisons and activists call for release of all prisoners of conscience.
"My heart is filled with love for Jesus, my mouth cannot proclaim something different." Dabrina Bet Tamraz shares the story of her friend who, thanks to the timely encouragement from other believers, stood strong during his court hearing in Iran. #persecution#religiousfreedom
The latest state propaganda about #Iran's religious #minorities being "free to practise their religious rituals". Here's what #Assyrian Christian @DabrinaT told @articleeighteen when asked if #Christians really enjoy equal rights, as is often claimed: https://t.co/2QcFs5JsQp
Dabrina said that while her brother’s sentence seems comparatively short compared to those given to other #Christians, including her parents, “spending even one day in prison, for someone who has done nothing wrong and committed no crime, is a great injustice”.

Over 40 years in power, the regime in Iran has shown only disrespect for the Iranian people. This disrespect has destabilized Iran’s internal order, weakened its economy, and made it a pariah state in the eyes of the free world.
@DabrinaT, Assyrian human rights advocate and survivor of religious persecution in Iran, spoke today at the @StateDept: “The court cases for at least 48 Christians arrested and charged in previous years continue to drag on, indefinitely.”
در نشست امروز، مایک پمپئو، وزیر خارجه آمریکا ضمن تشکر از دابرینا بت تمرز @DabrinaT برای حضور در همایشی که به منظور حمایت از حقوق بشر در ایران در جریان است، از پدر و مادر دابرینا یاد کرد که به دلیل فعالیتهای مسیحی خود با احکام سنگین زندان در ایران روبرو هستند.
#Iran's state-backed @PressTV recently claimed #ReligiousFreedom campaigner @DabrinaT's story "is not news" and that her father, pastor Victor Bet-Tamraz, who faces a 10-year sentence, "hasn’t even seen the inside of a #prison". Here's Dabrina's response: https://t.co/2QcFs5JsQp
Human rights abuses are often present in countries where the right to practice one’s faith is denied. Dabrina Bet-Tamraz shares her story and describes the persecution her family endured in #Iran.
