The Regime Shot His Friends, but They Couldn't Stop This Iranian Christian from Going Viral

A viral video and a deadly crackdown followed by a dramatic escape. That's what happened to Ali Rezaei Majd, an Iranian fitness trainer turned protester. Now, after escaping from Iranian authorities, he's speaking exclusively to CBN News.

More than six feet tall with 224 pounds of muscle, tattoos etched across his body, and long, thick hair. He's a presence that's hard to ignore.

Ali Rezaei looks like a fighter. And in many ways, he is.

"From the moment I was born, and came to this world, I was always feeling like I'm living in a prison," he said.

He comes from Iran's Lorestan province, a region known for its fiercely independent people. For generations, they've carried a reputation: warriors, rebels, and survivors.

Before everything changed, Ali owned a business in the city of Doroud as a fitness trainer, running a small gym, building strength in others.
