Ten Iranian Christian converts previously cleared of all accusations are being forced by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) to participate in re-education classes led by Islamic clerics. The ten Christians, eight of whom were cleared in a Dezful court in November of any crime, appeared after being summoned via phone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The IRGC led the arrest, charges, confiscation of property, and threats against the Christian converts in Dezful. These mandatory Islamic re-education classes directly conflict with the rulings of the Civil and Revolutionary Court of Dezful that said the group \u201cmerely converted to a different religion.\u201d The court noted that this apostasy could be punished under Islamic Sharia law but was \u201cnot criminalized in the laws of Iran.\u201d The courts also ruled they \u201cdidn\u2019t carry out any propaganda against other groups.\u201d The IRGC-mandated classes were presented to the group to \u201cguide them back onto the right path.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
