Iranian Christian Ebrahim Firouzi is currently serving an extended period of internal exile in south-east Iran. This follows his release from prison late last year where he served a 5-year sentence for ‘acting against national security.’

Although this charge was framed in political terms there is no doubt that it came as a direct result of Ebrahim’s decision to follow Jesus and share his faith with his fellow Iranians.

The following interview was originally conducted in Farsi by Joseph Hovsepian, the son of martyred Iranian church leader Haik Hovsepian. We are thankful to Joseph and our friends at Hovsepian Ministries, as well as our associate ministry Voice of the Martyrs, for giving us permission to share this translated version of Ebrahim’s testimony.
