After serving the sentence related to Christianity, Majidreza was transferred to Tehran Greater Prison to serve the sentence for theft. He caught COVID-19 there.

On 8 April Majidreza was released, four months early.

Please pray that:

  • MajidReza will experience God’s peace and comfort and be able to adjust quickly to life outside prison.
  • He will be able to find work and rent a flat.
  • He will soon be able to visit his children and restore his relationship as father.
