Fereshteh Dibaj, daughter of a murdered Christian priest, has been abducted with her husband, by the Islamic regime's plainclothes men and members of the Pasdaran Corp. Intelligence, in the religious City of Mashad.

The couple was arrested at their appartment but authorities are refusing to give any information on their fate. Family members and their young daughter have witnessed the arrest.

Several personal belongings, such as, desktop and files were also confiscated during the illegal arrest which is worrying the Iranian Christian circles and particularly Muslims who have converted to Christianity. The punishment for those converting from Islam is the death penalty according to the Islamic republic's Sharia law.

Fereshteh is the dauhter of the late Reverend Mehdi Dibaj who was abducted and murdered, 12 years ago, in the wake of what has been qualified as "serial murders" and during which tens of Iranian dissidents and intellectuals were liquidated by the Islamic regime's plainclothes agents.

Mehdi Dibaj, who had converted from Islam, was murdered in a gruesome manner along with Bishop Tateous Mikailian and Bishop Haik Hosepian.

Prior to his murder, Dibaj had been imprisoned, more than nine years, on the charge of "apostasy". He had just been released following International pressures exerted on the Islamic regime.

Il regime islamico rapisce la figlia di un prete cristiano ucciso

Fereshteh Dibaj, figlia di un prete assassinato, è stata rapita insieme a suo marito da miliziani islamici in borghese e membri dei Pasdaran nella città religiosa di Mashad.

La coppia è stata prelevata dal proprio appartamento, ma le autorità a tuttora si rifiutano di dire dove si troverebbero in questo momento. Altri familiari sono stati testimoni dell'arresto.

Al momento dell'arresto sono stati confiscati anche una scrivania ed alcuni documenti. La comunità cristiana ed i mussulmani convertitisi al cristianesimo sono parecchio preoccupati. La punizione contro chi si converte dall'Islam ad altre religioni è la pena di morte secondo la sharia.

Fereshteh è figlia del reverendo Mehdi Dibaj, rapito ed ucciso 12 anni fa, durante la tristemente famosa ondata di assassinii da parte del regime contro dissidenti ed intellettuali iraniani.

Mehdi Dibaj, che si era convertito dall'islam al cristianesimo, fu ucciso brutalmente insieme ai vescovi Tateous Mikailian e Haik Hosepian.

Prima della sua uccisione, Dibaj fu arrestato per nove anni con l'accusa di "apostasia". Era appena stato rilasciato per via delle pressioni internazionali, prima di essere ucciso.
