A Christian couple were flogged in Iran for participating in an “underground church”.They were arrested in September 2005 and a Revolutionary Court reviewed their case in July 2007.
Although the couple had decided to marry seven years ago,the country’s marriage laws forbid them to obtain a certificate of marriage.
In Iran it is forbidden for ex-Muslims to marry members of other religious minorities.
The woman was born a Christian in an Assyrian-Iranian family and the man was a convert to Christianity.
The court ruled that both the man and the woman were Mortad, a description of someone who has committed apostasy by leaving Islam.
ISNA reported that Friday, members of an insurgent group killed a police officer and wounded another in the province of Kurdistan.
ISNA also reported that the Party for Freedom and Life in Kurdistan (PJAK),claimed responsibility for the attack.
