[International Religious Freedom News] The Farsi Christian News Network reports that an Iranian Christian couple were flogged after being declared apostates. The couple, a woman from an Assyrian-Iranian family and a man who had converted to Christianity, were denied a Christian marriage ceremony due to the rules governing the marriage of ex-Muslims, and thus married in accordance with Islamic law.

In September, agents of the Revolutionary Court visited the couple at their home to execute the sentence of flogging. 2007-10-19 01:00:00Full Article
