(christiansunite.com) - Nine believers were recently arrested on the charge of carrying out journalism just outside Hamedan, Iran, according to a broadcast on Iranian State television.
Two of the arrested were reportedly supported by organizations based outside the country, in particular the United States and Great Britain, but their nationalities are unknown.
The other seven detained were reportedly cooperating with "Christian-Zionist organizations" -- a term used in Iranian government culture for evangelical Christians who are benefiting from having access to a number of networks and TV satellite programs for evangelism.
It is reportedly the first time in three decades that the State TV has broadcast news about the arrest of a group of Christians. (Source: Farsi Christian News Network)
