Artemis Ghasemzadeh's conversion from Islam to Christianity began in 2019 during a visit to Turkey, marking the start of a perilous journey. After purchasing a Bible, she engaged with underground churches and eventually was baptized. Amid increasing danger, including arrests of fellow Christians in Iran, she decided to seek refuge in the U.S. However, her current situation has become complicated as she finds herself detained in a migrant camp in Panama, alongside other Iranian Christian converts, where their future remains uncertain.
Her journey from Islam to Christianity was fraught with danger, leading her to flee Iran for the United States in search of religious freedom.
In her own words, Ghasemzadeh expressed a desire to 'live freely, to live without fear,' highlighting the risks Christians face in Iran.
The risks of converting to Christianity in Iran are severe; Ghasemzadeh's Bible study group faced arrests, illustrating the dangers of faith in a theocratic regime.
Despite the challenges she faces as a detainee in Panama, Ghasemzadeh remains hopeful for a future free from persecution.
