Iranian Christian Faces Death Penalty

(CSW) An Iranian church leader, who is already in prison, faces the death penalty if he is found guilty by a shari'ah court.

Hamid Pourmand, 47, is scheduled to go before a shari'ah court in Bandar-i-Bushehr next week on charges of apostasy from Islam and seeking to spread the Christian gospel among Muslims. The former charge is punishable by death.
