Iran arrests 10 Christians in household prayer meeting

Iranian police have arrested 10 Christians in a raid on a prayer meeting in a private home.

The arrests mark the latest episode in an official campaign against the country’s Christian minority. One of those arrested, Mojtaba Hosseini, had reportedly been arrested previously in 2008 after he converted to Christianity, and ordered to renounce his new faith.
