شهروندان مسیحی با راه‌اندازی کمپین #کلیسا_حق_همه_مسیحیان_است پرسش ساده‌ای از حکومت ایران دارند، «مسیحیان فارسی‌زبان کجا می‌توانند از حق قانونی خود برای عبا��ت جمعی استفاده کنند، که سرنوشتشان به زندان، تبعید، تهدید و آزار ختم نشود؟»

Today we think of Hossein Kadivar, another

#convert
serving a 5-yr sentence for attending a
#house_church
as he had no other
#place2worship
. He's been in prison since 1 June 2020, when a Revolutionary Court rejected his request for more time with his wife & son.
