Pastor Saeed Abedini Suffers 'Devastating Blow' as Court Rejects Appeal, Affirms 8-Year Sentence
"My President, President Obama, has not spoken a word about him. As we commemorate the 50th anniversary of the historic speech defending freedom by Dr. Martin Luther King, a brave American who gave his life to fight for the freedom that is so fundamental to our way of life, I am extremely disappointed that President Obama has chosen to remain silent on this critical human and religious rights case of an American imprisoned in Iran."

We have had two cases of American citizens who broke laws in Iran and N. Korea, and the government wasted no time in having these peoples set free, but when it comes to a Pastor helping out in an Iranian orphanage, the President, and his Administration, takes their time letting this American citizen be tortured and nearly die from internal injuries! If President Obama were truly for this country and its citizens, a much bigger deal would be made of this, not to mention the silence of the news outlets concerning this Christian Pastor.
Fortunately, there will be prayer vigils planned for the Pastor for Sept. 26, though we should all remain in a state of prayer for him and the other believers in prison or tortured for their faith all around the world.
"There are now 44 cities in the U.S. that have gotten permits and are on board for doing the prayer vigil on September 26, which is the one year anniversary of Saeed's imprisonment in Evin (Prison). Different cities are holding it at different times, but most cities are holding it at noon their time in front of courthouses, city halls, or their state capitol building," Abedini said in an interview with The Global Dispatch over the weekend.
