Three Iranian and American Pastors are threatened with

murder by an Iranian Hezbollah assassin group

According to the news received by Farsi Christian News Network (FCNN) from the Farsi-
speaking Christian Church in Athens, Greece, on Wednesday March 11th, 2009, a letter
was delivered to three Iranian pastors by individuals identifying themselves as “Hezbollah”
threatening them and their families with death.
These radical religious individuals who identify themselves as the “Army of the Imam Zaman (the
invisible and the last imam of the Shiites)” have accused the Iranian pastors of being the agents and
the spies working for foreign powers and have demanded that they renounce their faith in Christ
and return to Islam. Continuing in this threatening letter, they have made it clear that if these pastors
do not return to Islam, they will be, according to Islamic law, be declared apostates and those who
resist God, which would allow the authors of the letter to, “fulfill our religious duty towards you”.
The Committee of Christian activist of the International Human Rights Convention expresses deep
concern regarding these developments and the dangers these individuals may face, especially in
light of the recently approved (September 9, 2009) legislation by the Islamic Parliament which may
allow the government to extend its reach beyond the borders of Iran in pursuit of Iranians who have
become Christians or are of the Bahai and Jewish faith.
The Iranian Baptist Church in Athens has been, for the past 5 years, ministering to many Iranian and
Afghani residents of Greece as well as many refugees and students who for the fear of persecution
and for various other social and political reasons left Iran seeking asylum in Greece. This church
has been sharing the love and the life changing news of the gospel of Jesus Christ with countless
people who have been reached by this church.
According to recent statistics by some of the major Christian organizations, there are currently
about 150 churches around the world that are ministering to the Iranians and Afghanis abroad.
FCNN, in connection with the publishing of this threatening letter, will also release the contents of
an interview that was done with one of the three pastors in Athens in the very
IN THE NAME OF ALLAH

In the name of Allah the only God of all humankind, and in the name of the spirit of
God the great Khomeini, defeater of all authorities, and armies of the West and the
East, and in the name of the commander and the leader of all Muslims of the world,
Honorable Imam Khameneyi.
You servants of (Lackey, Valet, Menial, Manservant, ? lower than a servant) of
America, Europe, and Israel:
One pastor Bizhan Yousefi, Two Pastor Ahmad Shafeghat, and American Pastor
Vince. You, the agents of espionage organizations necessarily need to pay attention
to this alarm (danger).
We are aware of all anti-Islamic activities that you are doing in the churches in
Athens and in all other places. And we know that you with some other agents of
espionage organizations in the disguise of European and American pastors are
deceiving the Muslims, that unfortunately are escaping and going adrift from Iran and
Afghanistan and other Arabic countries and changing their religion and their faith,
converting them like this into the false Christianity.
Be aware that you by these activities are responsible to God, and to Koran, and to the
true Mohammedi Islam and, to the true prophet Mohammed. You are standing
against The Holy Organized Republic Islamic, and also to the billions of Islamic
people. You corrupted Iranians have changed your Islamic religion in order to
receive the special passports and to receive the big money from the espionage
organization that you are following.
Be aware that in these days that the power of the Islamic world is growing, it’s army
and economy’s success have blinded the American and European government and
have defeated and scared them. You betrayers of your own Islamic countries have
forgotten it and have your hands into the satanic hands of this criminal and thief
governments and have become the missionaries of their corrupted goals.
Be aware that while Islam is the religion of forgiveness and love and confession, we
give you and your families the opportunity that you quickly come to the dear embrace
of Islam, the only true religion of the world. Remove your hands from deceiving the
Muslims with the leaving of this job and this false Christianity and leaving that
corrupted place. And save your soul from the punishment of Islam and confess. We,
in the judge of Islam, first, advise you to turn back to the dear embrace of Islam and
if you disobey the law of God and Islam according to the holy commandment of the
religion. We know you as a blasphemer, as the anti-God, and as an apostate. We do
our own religion’s duty. You have sealed your self, in the law of God and Koran and
with the help of the master Imam. Very quickly all the Europe, America, Israel, and
all other satanic authorities of the world will be destroyed with the hands of Islam,
the only most holy religion would be increased and scattered throughout all the world
and will lead the world. We remind you the only true and holy and right book
through all the world is Koran that to the end of the world has sent for the humans.
And all other books are made by the Europe and American satanic governments. We
wait for you that are deceived to come back to the embrace of Islam and confess.
