    That's awful. What were they arrested for, apostasy? Did they convert from Islam to Christianity? And this...

    What do you think the promissory notes were?

    yeah they born as Muslim and converted to Christianity. according to our law (Sharieh law) it has dead penalty.

    probably those 13 persons claimed that Christian missioners fooled them and they never converted to Christianity. guess those two guys who are still in prison encounter in bad problem.

    This is normal and happens a lot. It is not very surprising at all, unfortunately.

    So if you are born as Muslim, you can never change it? is that what you mean to say?

    We all are born in some religion - and i think, we should be given the freedom to choose the best one, if we think that ours is not the best.

    pathetic, very pathetic and cruel laws :(

    we can have our faith for ourselves, need not to reveal it in public when knows how it could be dangerous for us.

    in Iran you can say your opinion freely but can't officially announce it.
