An elderly Iranian Christian woman endured 10 days of intensive interrogation by intelligence officers and was forced to go to an Islamic religious leader to be ‘instructed’, it was reported in late February.
Ruhsari Kamberi, 65, was one of five women converts from Islam arrested from different church groups. The whereabouts of the other four are unknown.
Three intelligence officers arrived at Ruhsari’s home early one morning. They searched the rooms and seized mobile phones, Bibles and other Christian material before detaining her for questioning. Ruhsari was interrogated from morning until evening for 10 consecutive days. The wife and mother was finally released when bail of 30 million Toman (around £5,500) was paid.
