A church spokesperson said “before they arrested those who were present, the agents terrorized them and forced them to confess, in front of the agents’ cameras, that they had links to Zionist organisations and supported the policies of the Israeli government.
Christian churches in Karaj have been subjected to harassment by security forces, arrests and economic discrimination for the past several years.
