Christians face being flogged after drinking Holy Communion wine as the Iranian authorities continue to crackdown on non-Islamic religions.

Christians are due to appear in court next week and if found guilty face punishment by flogging.

Iranian police arrested Yasser Mossayebzadeh, Saheb Fadaie and Mohammad Reza Omidi.

Drinking alcohol in Iran is forbidden under the country's strict Sharia Islamic law.

Offenders are normally sentenced to between 10 and 100 lashes across the back with a three-foot long whip.

Many people faint after eight strokes due to the severe pain.

People can also be flogged for adultery, kissing in public, homosexual acts and blasphemy.
