Our friend Hamid wrote to tell us that a Christian blogger was apparently arrested in Iran. We’re still awaiting confirmation but here is a link to a Persian story from Human Rights Activists in Iran.

Apparently the site reports that a 30-year-old Christian blogger in Isfahan was arrested a month ago.¬† “It is said he used to write about Christianity on his blog and a blog reader who turned out to be security agent contacted him (posing) as a Christian¬†and arrested him.”

Sharia Law, as I understand it, considers “apostasy,” or leaving Islam, to be a very serious crime, punishable by death, at least in theory. We don’t know if this person was a Christian convert or not, however.

If anyone can confirm, or debunk, this story, please let us know.
