“Please remember to keep pastor Abedini in your prayers. Unsurprisingly our fake Christian prez Mr. O did nothing to secure his release but since Mr. O loves Islam so much that may account for his indifference to the pastor’s plight.” Admin
A legal organization that has been fighting for the release of an American pastor imprisoned in Iran says that the pastor is now facing new danger over the recent U.S.-Iran nuclear deal.
The American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) outlined in an update on Thursday that after word of the agreement reached the ears of those incarcerated in Rajai Shahr Prison, it reignited Iranian animosity toward the United States.
“Pastor Saeed revealed that since the deal was announced yesterday, many in the prison are expressing anti-American sentiments,” wrote ACLJ Executive Director Jordan Sekulow. “Tensions are high inside the prison and he told the family member during today’s visit that not only does he feel threatened, but believes he is now a target because he is an American citizen.”
As previously reported, Saeed Abedini, a former Iranian Muslim turned Christian, left Iran in 2005 and moved to the United States with his wife and two children to find religious freedom after facing conflict with authorities for planting house churches in the county. In 2012, he traveled back to Iran to build an orphanage and visit his parents—and was about to return to the states—when he was taken into custody.
