Christians in Iran raised their voices for Mahsa Amini, who was killed by religious fundamentalists

Christians have also come forward demanding justice for the death of a Kurdish woman named Mahsa Amini, who was beaten to death by religious police in Iran for allegedly not wearing the hijab, an Islamic religious dress. A statement from the Hangam Council, part of the United Iranian Churches, said it expresses its solidarity with the Iranian Christian community and supports their demand for justice for Mahsa's family, who is grieving over his death. Standing up for the voiceless is a spiritual mission. The religious community criticized the oppression of women and violations of human rights and demanded that all citizens be granted freedom, justice and equality.

The statement hailed those protesting the death of the young woman across the country as having 'unparalleled courage'. Christians have said that the hijab must be abolished, just as other discriminatory laws have been abolished. The Christian community said in a statement that many women like Mahsa have been killed since the 1979 Islamic revolution, and that they offer prayers for their families.

At the same time, the authorities are making a big effort to suppress the protests that broke out after the death of Mahsa Amini. According to the Washington-based Committee for the Protection of Journalists, police have arrested 20 journalists since the protests began. But the international community is giving great support to those protesting against the Islamic State. At the same time, despite the heavy repression, many thousands of people in Iran are abandoning Islam and joining the Christian faith.
