According to a new United Nations report, Iranian regime is persecuting Christians and other religious minorities in the country while the President Hassan Rouhani has been unable or unwilling to stop the maltreatment.

The country's regime arrested Christians and subjected Christian converts to death threats and psychological abuse during a raid on an Easter service.

The licensed Churches have also been shut down, according to the report that will be submitted to world leaders on Tuesday.

According to Fox News, the report suggests that at least 49 Protestant Christians are currently detained, many for involvement in informal house churches.
