Luke 21:12 “But before all this, they will lay hands on you and persecute you. They will deliver you to synagogues and prisons, and you will be brought before kings and governors, and all on account of my name.
The wife of jailed Christian pastor Saeed Abedini is going to address the United Nations Human Rights Council in an attempt to gain her husband’s freedom after failing to gain any support from the U.S. government.
Naghmeh Abdeini is going to talk to the Council about Saeed’s failing health and abuse in Iran’s notorious Evin Prison.
Saeed Abedini is officially jailed for “endangering national security” although he did not violate any Iranian laws. He converted from Islam to Christianity and became a target of Iran’s Muslim government. Although an American citizen, he has repeatedly attacked by the Iranian guards and placed in solitary confinement in an attempt to force him to return to Islam.
“I am hopeful that our work at the United Nations will be a step forward in facilitating Saeed’s release,” Naghmeh wrote in a piece on FoxNews.com.
“Every day he is held in prison could lead to his death.”
