 Pastor Saeed Abedini Robbed at Knifepoint in Iran Prison


U.S. pastor Saeed Abedini was robbed at knifepoint at Iran's Rajai Shahr prison, the American Center for Law and Justice confirmed, sparking further fears for his life.

"Pastor Saeed is facing constant threats to his very life in the new prison. There have been several nights where he has awoken to men standing over him with knives. Pastor Saeed's 'cell' is only separated by a curtain from the rest of the violent prisoner ward he is forced to share, allowing dangerous prisoners – murderers and rapists – unfettered access to him 24 hours a day," ACLJ Executive Director Jordan Sekulow shared in an update earlier this week.
"He has also been robbed at knifepoint several times, stripping him of what few necessities he has been permitted to purchase for personal hygiene."

The ACLJ, which represents Abedini's wife and two children back in America, added that as a result of the "deplorable conditions" in prison and the lack of doctor-prescribed medication, the pastor's health has deteriorated. His condition had been improving back at Evin prison, where he began serving his eight-year sentence for his Christian faith, but now at Rajai Shahr he is being denied the medical attention that he needs.

 Re: Pastor Saeed Abedini Robbed at Knifepoint in Iran Prison



I had the privilege to meet Said and speak to him while he was still free not long ago. This man was ablaze for Christ. He was on his way to go back to Iran to witness Christ to his people knowing full well that this could be a no return journey.

It is heartbreaking to hear what he goes through, but he ministers to us all. I will never forget this shining face. Let us lift him up in prayer.

Lord, stand with him as you stood with Daniel and Joseph. Let him love his enemies and pour fiery coal on their heads. Set the captives around him free, convict them of their sins and break their iron chains of iniquity. May he be able to rejoice that he is counted worthy to suffer for You. Comfort his wife and children. May his prayers and petitions shake the foundations of the prison. We thank you for his selfless sacrifice and exceeding love for his own people.
