On March 5, Marzieh Esmaeilabad and Maryam Rustampoor were arrested by Iranian security forces and labeled "anti-government activists," according to Farsi Christian News Network (FCNN). Marzieh and Maryam are being held at Evin Prison, which is notorious for treating women badly. "Both women are allowed just a one minute telephone call everyday to their immediate families. Both are unwell and in need of urgent medical attention," FCNN reported. During their last call on March 28, Mazieh said that she was suffering from an infection and high fever. She said, 'I am dying.'
Marzieh and Maryam's apartment was searched and their belongings were confiscated. "Their only crime is that they are committed Christians who follow the teachings of Jesus," FCNN added. 'They are being unfairly labeled as 'anti government activists' because of the hostility of the government towards practicing Christians.'Please remember those who are suffering in bonds for our Lord's holy name. They need support and encouragement from their brethren around the world.
In Him,
Ceira
