The American Center for Law and Justice has asked the UN Human Rights Council to focus on Iran's treatment of Christians, citing the seizure of a historic church and figures including 254 arrests in 2025 and at least 19 deaths after 2026 protests.
The ACLJ also documented the shuttering of the 150-year-old St. Peter Evangelical Church, the demolition of the Evangelical Church of Mashhad, the arrest of convert Mohammad Nikbakht, and a blacklist on Christian satellite broadcasters.
The group says Iran specifically tracks Muslim converts to Christianity and surveils church membership rolls, describing arrests of evangelical networks accused of praying for Israel's victory.
