Tomaj Aryankia is in grave danger. Shi’ite Islam, like Sunni Islam, prescribes the death penalty for apostasy:
Shaykh al-Kulayni narrates a sahíh (correct) hadith from `Ammãr as-Sãbãti who said: I heard (Imam) Abu `Abdullãh (as-Sãdiq) (a.s.) saying, “A Muslim from among the Muslims who renounces Islam and rejects the prophethood of Muhammad and considers him untrue, then verily his blood is lawful (mubãh) for anyone who hears that from him, his wife is to be separated from him the day he became murtad [apostate], his wealth will be divided among his heirs, and his wife will observe the `idda of a widow (i.e., four months). The Imam is obliged to kill him, and not ask him to seek forgiveness.” (Furu al-Kãfi, vol. 7, p. 257)
The Islamic Republic of Iran might not carry out this sentence in the absence of the Imam, but they’re not likely to be lenient and kind to Laleh Saati, either.
“Iranian Christian Convert Sentenced to 10 Years in Prison,” Iran International, November 18, 2024:
A Revolutionary Court in Karaj has sentenced an Iranian Christian convert to 10 years in prison and a two-year ban on social activities.
Tomaj Aryankia received the sentence on November 5 after attending a court hearing following a phone summons.
According to Mohabat News, Aryankia was charged with “propaganda against the Islamic Republic through promoting Christianity.”
He also faced accusations of collaborating with “hostile governments” and “membership in anti-Islamic Republic groups.”…
While Iran recognizes Christians as a religious minority, authorities harshly persecute those who convert from Islam to Christianity.

He’s poor in that he is facing ten years in a very bad situation. But, he’s rich in that he has put his faith in Jesus Christ.
Jesus warned that His disciples would be hated and persecuted, and some put to death for following Him.
But, He also promised to be with each one, and to resurrect any who die…naturally or by being murdered.
Hopefully, this Christian man can stay strong in faith; and if he lacks faith, he can ask for more. It may be that the demonic iranian regime won’t last much longer.

‘The Islamic Republic of Iran might not carry out this sentence in the absence of the Imam, but they’re not likely to be lenient and kind to Laleh Saati, either.’
Will all this change if the Iranian people succeed in overthrowing the religious rulers? My guess is not right away and maybe never. Islam and religious freedom cannot coexist.

Iran: Christian convert gets 10 years for ‘propaganda against the Islamic Republic through promoting Christianity’
…………………………………………..
There is no freedom of conscience in Islam.
And Tomaj Aryankia’s sentence may be evern worse–he is in terrible danger both from guards and from other prisoners.
I pray that he survives.

In contrast, Muslim clerics in Australia openly preaching Jew hatred and genocide are untouchable. But then in Australia, law, order and politics is poop-scared of offending Muslims. Justice is two-tiered and only soft targets with no political clout or just the wrong politics are harried or arrested.
