Iranian Moslems Debate Christian Converts
From CompassDirectIranian police invaded the annual general conference of Iran's Assemblies of God Church yesterday, arresting at least 80 church leaders gathered at the church's denominational center in Karaj, 20 miles west of Tehran. Without warning, a large number of policemen surrounded the church's garden property yesterday morning, bursting in to arrest all the men and women present at the first day of their annual meetings. "The police came from everywhere," one Iranian Christian said, "and there were a lot of them." "Every single person present was put under arrest, blindfolded and taken in for interrogation," an Iranian source confirmed to Compass today. The detained Christians were driven around blindfolded for several hours so they would be unable to understand where they were being taken. Reportedly each individual was questioned separately by security officials, who had a specific list of questions. The interrogation revealed that the authorities had very precise information about each person, including his or her activities, relatives and other personal data.
