TEHRAN, IRAN (BosNewsLife)-- Christians in Iran have challenged reports that the death penalty for Pastor Yousef Nadarkhani has been annulled, saying the Supreme Court appears to have added a precondition requiring him to renounce his faith, or face execution, a religious rights group said Wednesday, July 6.
Christian Solidarity Worldwide (CSW) also told BosNewsLife that Iranian Christians have still not seen written confirmation of the court’s decision on Pastor Nadarkhani’s appeal against a death sentence for apostasy, or leaving Islam.
The pastor's lawyer, Mohammad Ali Dadkhah, said Sunday, July 3, that the Supreme Court "annulled the death sentence and sent the case back to the court in his 'hometown' Rasht, asking the accused to repent."
