Amnesty International launched an Urgent Action in the summer calling for the release of four Iranians sentenced to a combined total of 45 years in prison ‘solely for practising their Christian faith’.
The report calls for urgent action from the Iranian Government to ‘quash the convictions and sentences of [the four who] were targeted solely for the peaceful exercise of their rights to freedoms of religion and belief, expression, and association, through their Christian faith.’
All four are currently free on bail, awaiting the outcome of their appeals.
