On Christmas Eve of 2023, Esmaeil Narimanpour was apprehended by security forces. The Iranian follower of Jesus was charged with “acting against national security by communicating with Christian zionist organisations”. As of 30 April, he was released on bail after spending more than four months in detention.
In the most recent update, Esmaeil’s trial took place on 28 May, resulting in him being sentenced to five years’ imprisonment. He has a short window to appeal. He is presently awaiting a summons that will officiate the beginning of the sentence.
