Victor Bet-Tamarz, a sickly 60-year-old Assyrian Pentecostal church leader who was among many Christians to be arrested after Iranian security forces raided his Tehran home during a Christmas celebration, as well as another unidentified Christian, remain behind bars, as of February 2:
Police was seen filming the arrests, forcing each Christian to state their identity, explain why they were there and why they thought they were being detained.
Authorities reportedly separated men from women and proceeded to search them, confiscating Bibles, mobile phones and identification papers. Police also searched Pastor Victor’s home, seizing his computer, mobile phones and books, Christians said.
We should start an Avaaz request circulating, to ask to set them free.
