Iran: another Christian convert released from prison
Amin was arrested with four other Christian converts when security agents raided their homes in Rasht in December 2017.
According to Middle East Concern, at a court hearing in March 2019 he was sentenced to fourteen months’ imprisonment for “propaganda against the regime and establishing house churches. The others were sentenced to four months’ each for “propaganda against the regime.”
The four converts arrested with Amin were released on 9 October 2019 after completing their prison sentences. Amin was released conditionally on 2 March due to concerns about the Covid-19 outbreak after submitting a bond of 50 million tomans ($3,000).
On 6 April, prison authorities contacted Amin to inform him that he was not required to return to prison and it is expected that he will be able to reclaim the money put down as security, Middle East Concern reported on Monday.
