"IRAN -- Christian in Solitary Confinement -- Farsi Christian News Network


Ali Golchin, an Iranian Christian, has been held in solitary confinement... according to Farsi Christian News Network (FCNN). ... Ali's father was finally allowed to visit him on June 17. "Ali's father shared that he was distressed to find his son ‘crying uncontrollably' and in obvious pain," FCNN reported.

Sources believe Ali has been treated harshly during interrogations because he is suffering from "weakness and severe stomachaches." The Iranian government has not filed criminal charges against Ali, and no lawyers have been appointed for his defense.

"Ali's wife has been warned not to attend church and told that she will only be able to negotiate with the authorities about Ali's release if she converts to Islam," according to FCNN..."
