Pastor Saeed Abedini Transferred To New Ward; Needs Surgery

John 16:2 Indeed, the hour is coming when whoever kills you will think he is offering service to God.

Pastor Saeed Abedini, imprisoned in Iran for his faith in Christ, received a small bit of good news when he was transferred from the murderer’s ward of Rajai Shahr Prison to the ward where they hold political prisoners.

However, his attorneys say the move is only a slight step toward justice for Abedini.

The American Center for Law and Justice said in a statement that Pastor Saeed is still in the deadliest prison in Iran and facing a serious medical issue.  Members of Abedini’s Iranian family was able to see him for the first time in six weeks and said that he is still throwing up and has extreme pain in his abdomen.

A prison doctor actually recommended surgery and told prison officials that it was medically necessary for Abedini’s internal injuries.  He gave Abedini medication to try and ease the pain.  Iranian officials have not responded to the doctor’s request for surgery.

“There is a glimmer of comfort to know that my husband has been transferred out of the murderers’ ward, but my heart aches to know the pain he continually suffers and that his injuries necessitate surgery,” Saeed’s wife Naghmeh Abedini said in a statement.  “As a family, it is difficult to be so far away and unable to comfort him in his pain.”

  1. I pray that PastorSaeed keeps strong. I know this is hard. I pray he would be a witness to his captors and they would see the Love and Light of Jesus in him. I pray he would be released and the government of this country would help him

  2. I PRAY IN THE MIGHTY NAME OF YESHUA HA’MASHIACH, THAT PASTOR SAEED ABEDINI WOULD BE HEALED, STRENGTHENED, AND RELEASED BACK INTO THE ARMS OF HIS FAMILY. PRESIDENT OBAMA SHOULD BE ASHAMED FOR NOT DEMANDING THAT PASTOR ABEDINI BE RELEASED, ESPECIALLY IN LIGHT OF THE RECENT NEGOTIATIONS WITH IRAN. MAY PASTOR ABEDINI BE RELEASED SOON….GOD BLESS AND KEEP HIM!

  3. I wouldn’t let the Iranians perform surgery on him. They might purposely let him die on the operating table then say there were complications during the surgery to cover it up. Let’s all pray that the Lord Jesus would send His healing power and heal him without the surgery.
