This letter addresses His Holiness Pope Leo XIV, Leader of the Catholic Church, bringing attention to the plight of persecuted Christians in Iran. Under the Islamic Republic regime, Christians and other religious minorities have faced systematic persecution, forced conversions, imprisonment, and even execution for practicing their faith.

The letter calls upon the Holy Father to use his moral authority and global platform to advocate for the protection of religious minorities in Iran. It highlights the urgent need for international attention to the suffering of Iranian Christians and other faith communities who are denied basic religious freedoms.

This appeal seeks to unite the voices of the faithful worldwide in solidarity with our persecuted brothers and sisters in Iran, urging action to end the religious persecution that has plagued our nation for over four decades.
