More than 50 Christians are known to have been arrested in Iran in the past few weeks by agents of the Ministry of Intelligence. Some of the Christians have been released following interrogation, while others remain detained.

Some of those arrested recently are featured in this month's Persecuted but not forsaken prayer resource. Please do take a moment to pray for them and for all those who have suffered over the past few weeks.

Please pray:

• For comfort, peace and strength for those who remain detained and are facing interrogation, and for their families

• That the intelligence ministry would not be able to identify any more Christians from the phones and devices they have confiscated

• For Christians to be protected from psychological, physical and sexual abuse while detained
