No bail required; charges of ‘proselytizing' and ‘apostasy' remain.
ISTANBUL, November 18 (CDN) -
Two
Christian Iranian women, Maryam Rostampour, 27, and Marzieh Amirizadeh
Esmaeilabad, 30, were released from prison this afternoon with no bail
amid an international campaign calling for their freedom since their
arrest on March 5.
The two women, whose health
deteriorated while in detention at the notorious Evin prison in Tehran,
are at their homes recovering from their nine-month ordeal, an Iranian
source told Compass. They still could face charges of proselytizing and
"apostasy," or leaving Islam.
