Iranian religious minorities enjoying freedom, respect: Bishop Mirm

Bishop Thomas Mirm says complete freedom and respect were the results of Iran’s 1979 Islamic Revolution for religious minorities of the country.

The Assyrian, Chaldean Catholic Church Bishop of Orumiyeh Thomas Mirm said on Tuesday that complete freedom and respect were the results of Iran’s 1979 Islamic Revolution for religious minorities of the country.

Speaking in a ceremony to commemorate the 36th anniversary of the Islamic Revolution victory in the northwestern city of Salmas, the bishop said the Revolution had caused great changes in the economic, cultural and social aspects of the Iranians lives including those of the followers of different religions.

One of the remarkable blessings of the Islamic Revolution for the Iranian people was a peaceful coexistence between different ethnic and religious minorities of the country.

Ethnic and religious minorities in Iran enjoy a high degree of freedom and security which does not exist in any other country of the world, Bishop Mirm stressed.
