“As of 3 January 2014, at least 307 members of religious minorities were in detention, of whom 136 were Baha’is, 90 Sunni Muslims, 50 Christians, 19 Dervish Muslims…[and] two were Zoroastrians,” the report said.

“Iranian authorities at the highest levels have designated house churches and evangelical Christians as threats to national security.”
