Mark 13:13 “You will be hated by all because of My name, but the one who endures to the end, he will be saved.”
A United Nations panel has slammed Iran for their continued imprisonment of Pastor Saeed Abedini for his Christian faith.
The Iranians have been firm in refusing to free the pastor before the end of an eight-year prison term for being a Christian.
United Nations Human Rights Council Working Group on Arbitrary Detention says that the 34-year-old Abedini “has been deprived of his liberty for peacefully exercising the rights to freedom of religion, belief, and association.”
The report detailed all the issues surrounding the imprisonment of Abedini and called for his immediate release.
Saeed’s wife Naghmeh has been pleading with the White House and lawmakers to do something to free her husband from his wrongful imprisonment. She hopes that the U.N. report will be a large step toward her husband’s release.
“There are times where your cause feels forgotten — but today is not one of those days,” Naghmeh told Fox News. “From the depths of my heart, I urge the member countries of the UN to act on the recommendations of this report. As these countries sit face-to-face with Iran during the upcoming UN General Assembly, I plead with them to ask for my husband’s release. It is time for our family to be re-united. My children need their father and I need my husband.”
The administration has been criticized for negotiating the release of potential traitor Bowe Bergdahl while doing virtually nothing to gain the release of Abedini from Iran.
It is time for Iran to release this precious man of God. His only crime was to help the Iranian people as a humanitarian. Don’t you know that his torturors will suffer for their persecution of Christians? God has the final word! Release this man to his wife & children before Christmas.
Dear Ones, I have been praying for Pastor Abedini to be releasedand his family. Only our Precious God can do this in the name of his loving son Jesus Christ. Please! keep praying HIS WILL be done. May the Holy Spirit be with all believers & all those who need to be saved. You can face anything with God who lives within you. All things change. Isaish 41:10 Fear not for I am with you. !!!!! Please read the rest of this Scripture!!! Sally
This has gone on far too long. Pastor Abedini should have been released. He has done nothing wrong, except love the Lord Jesus Christ. Praying for him and his family.
