Editorial &
Production Team
The people, dedication, and collective commitment behind IUHC Magazine — bringing the stories of Iranian underground Christians to readers around the world.
“Behind every published story is a team committed to making sure that voices too often unheard are never forgotten.”
More Than a Magazine. A Shared Responsibility.
IUHC Magazine is supported by a dedicated editorial and production team committed to documenting the experiences, challenges, faith, and resilience of Iranian underground Christians.
Our team brings together writers, editors, researchers, designers, production contributors, and volunteers who work toward a shared publishing mission.
From developing articles and preparing interviews to designing pages and coordinating publication, each contribution plays an important role in bringing the magazine to life.
Our work is guided by a commitment to responsible storytelling, editorial integrity, and the safety of the individuals and communities whose experiences appear in our publication.

Every issue of IUHC Magazine represents the collective work of people who believe that the experiences of underground Christian communities in Iran should not remain invisible.

Protecting the People Behind the Stories
Why Some Team Members Remain Unnamed
IUHC Magazine covers the experiences of Iranian underground Christians, including individuals and communities who may face risks because of their religious beliefs or activities.
For this reason, some contributors, editorial collaborators, and individuals involved in the magazine’s work are not publicly identified.
Names, photographs, precise locations, and other identifying details may be withheld or modified when necessary to reduce potential risks.
Protecting individuals is more important than public recognition.
