An Iranian court has ordered the closure of the only Sunni mosque in the Arab sector of Khozistan in southern Iran, and has sentenced the mosque's preacher, Sheikh Abd Al-Hamid Al-Dousri, to seven years in prison. In 2006, Al-Dousri was arrested by Iranian authorities for spreading Sunni Islam. Source: Al-Jazirah, Saudi Arabia, May 25, 2008
