In a pre-planned and coordinated effort by government security forces, a group of new Christian believers were rounded up and arrested in a northern province of Iran. According to reports received by Farsi Christian News Network (FCNN), on Thursday, July 18, a group of 15 newly-converted Christians, who were travelling to the provincial town of Bojnoord to meet and to fellowship with the believers of that town, were arrested in the city of Masshad, the capital of the North Eastern province of Khorasan.
According to informed sources, the government security forces had pervious knowledge of this trip and in a pre-planned and coordinated effort forced the bus, carrying the 15 Christians, to be stopped en-route to their destination and after boarding the bus arrested everyone.
