Iranian Christian Prisoners Sick Amid Suspected Covid-19 Outbreak

Iran flag3/10/2022   Iran   (VOM)

Four Christians imprisoned for their faith in Tehran’s Evin Prison are battling sickness following a possible outbreak of Covid-19 in their prison wing. Nasser Navard Gol-Tapeh, 60 years old, Yousef Nadarkhani, 44, Saheb Fadaie, 40, and Moslem Rahimi, 32, are serving prison sentences ranging from 4 to 10 years for participating in house churches and promoting Christianity in Iran. Though the prison is not testing or quarantining for the virus, the four prisoners are experiencing symptoms and receiving poor medical care. A new wave of the virus in Iran has led to a mass furlough of prisoners, but none of the Christian prisoners have been approved for furlough.

Please pray…

  • Pray for these brothers to be healed from their illnesses.
  • Pray for their faith to be strong as they remain in prison.
  • Pray that they can be faithful witnesses for Christ to their fellow inmates.
