A church in Iran that has refused to stop holding services in the national language, Farsi, has been closed following the arrest of one of its leaders.

The Central Assemblies of God (AoG) Church in Tehran was raided during a prayer meeting on 21 May. The Rev. Robert Aserian was detained and taken to an unknown location; the church building was searched, and books, documents and equipment seized.

Before going to the church, the security forces had raided the minister's home and confiscated items including his computer and books.
