(Open Doors USA) Another Iranian Christian convert, Fatemeh (Aylar) Bakhteri, has been told she does not need to return to prison to complete her sentence.
The 36-year-old was released temporarily from Tehran’s Evin Prison on March 15—as one of tens of thousands of prisoners in Iran released due to the coronavirus outbreak.
Earlier this month, Aylar was told her leave had been extended. But when she called the prison on Easter Sunday, she learned she had been pardoned.
While Aylar is one of three Christians pardoned in the last two months, others have only been temporarily released.
