Liberati autem a peccato servi facti estis iustitiae. (Romans 6:18)
According to Christian Today three Christians in Iran have been found guilty of propagating the Gospel and of "cooperation with anti-government movements".
The three were arrested at Shiraz airport on their way to a Christian conference in Dubai. Their families managed to escape charges by posting a bond with the government, according to the Farsi Christian News Network (FCNN).
The judge of the Shiraz revolutionary court sentenced the three men to eight months suspended prison sentence and five years on probation.
One of the charges brought against the men was "cooperating with anti-government movements". According to FCNN, these "movements" were the Christian TV stations Love Television and Salvation TV.
Passing their sentence, the judge warned that if any of the men were discovered spreading the Gospel again their suspended sentence would be enforced and they would be arrested and tried for apostasy.
It is clear that Law and Order have different meanings in different countries.
"Dominum autem Christum sanctificate in cordibus vestris, parati semper ad satisfactionem omni poscenti vos rationem de ea, quae in vobis est spe", 1 Peter 3:15.
