She is 67 she lives in Iran, she was arrested suffered the trauma of intensive interrogation by the state security agents and given a jail sentence,she was summoned again to face the same charge. She said that her only crime is her belief in Jesus Christ. Our Saviour said,'If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you.If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you'. .....'if they persecuted Me,they will also persecute you'. John 15 v 18- 20.Her only crime was her belief in Jesus Christ , our Saviour said ,we shouldn't be surprise,because Christianity challenges ever other religion,declaring that Jesus is only way to God ,John14 v 6.Of course the devil who has blinded the minds of those who do not believe the Gospel,will not like being robbed of his followers. In Colossians 1 v13, the apostle reminds the Christians, that they had been delivered from the power of darkness, and had been translated into the kingdom of God's dear Son'.Satan and his followers do not like loosing any prisoners, and so believers in Christ will be persecuted, so don't be surprised when you read of believers being persecuted .But do pray for them that they will be faithful , if need be ,even unto death..
