  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Sample Letter

In November 2024, Mehran Shloui was arrested by intelligence agents along with two other Christians, Narges Nasri and Abbas Soori, for participating in a house church. He and the other two Christians were released on bail one month later following intensive interrogations.

On March 8, 2025 Mehron was sentenced to 10 years and eight months in prison on charges of “membership of groups opposing the state” and “propaganda activities contrary to Islamic law”. He was also fined, and banned from becoming a member of any group or travelling out of Iran following his release.
He appealed his sentence, but in April 2025 his appeal was rejected. On 7 May, 2025, he was summoned to begin his sentence, but by this time he had fled the county.
On 3 July, 2025, Mehran was deported back to Iran from Turkey, after being detained while attempting to cross the border into Europe.
On his arrival at Mashhad Airport, he was arrested and later transferred to the Greater Tehran Penitentiary to begin serving his sentence.
