| Saeed Abedini |
American Pastor Saeed Abedini has now spent 1,000 days in captivity in
Iran – nearly three years suffering in prison – separated from his wife, Naghmeh,
and their two young children.
No one could have imagined that he would be imprisoned this long when he
was taken into custody by Iranian regime in 2012 simply because of his
Christian faith. Pastor Saeed was in
Iran working on an orphanage when he was unexpectedly taken into custody by
Iran’s Revolutionary Guard.
In January 2013, Pastor Saeed was convicted of undermining the national
security of Iran for gathering with Christians in private homes from 2000 to
2005. He was sentenced to 8-years in prison.
Pastor Saeed has endured much in the past 1,000 days. He still suffers
from physical injuries that require much-needed medical attention – injuries
received from past beatings by prison guards. He also faces psychological
torture and as recently as a couple of weeks ago – he received another round of
beatings.
