Farshid Fathi

Location: Iran (Islamic Republic of)
Arrested: December 2010

Iranian Christian prisoner Farshid Fathi was sentenced to another year in prison. The additional time begins immediately after the six-year sentence he is currently serving. He is now due to be released December 2017, rather than December 2016. VOM partner Elam Ministries reports that the additional sentence stems from an April 2014 prison raid in which Farshid was injured. After public outcry, Farshid was transferred from Evin prison to Rajai Shahr prison in August 2014. A few days after arrival, he was falsely accused of possessing alcohol while at Evin, and on Dec. 29, he was given additional time in prison. More Info
