I was reading news reports this morning. Have any of you heard of Pastor Saeed? He had been preaching the Word of God in Iran. He was arrested and Iranian officials said he posed a security breach. He was given an Iranian attorney but he and his attorney were banned from the majority of the court proceedings about the case! He never had the chance to even defend himself against the charges! He has been sentenced to 8 years in Evin prison, which the Iranian people call "hell on earth". Pastor Saeed's family has attempted to visit him in prison day after day and they have not been allowed to see him. Prison officials have told the family everything from "we don't know where he is" to "he's in protective custody". It is known that Pastor Saeed has been tortured and beaten. His family does not know the state of his health at this time. This man has a wife and 2 children.
Here's how you can help:
Pray, pray, pray
There is also an online petition that we can sign to get the White House to act in talking with Iranian officials to help get Pastor Saeed home. I also know it is God and not our government who will free this man. However, I want to see this man's plight make national news just like Amanda Knox when she was accused of murder in Italy and just like Lisa Ling's sister who was prosecuted in a foreign country and held in prison. I want this man to have the support of his fellow American citizens and his brothers and sisters in Christ. Over 22,000 signatures must be collected by 2/10/13. So far, there are just over 2,000 signatures.
