GING-PAC endorsed Representative Michele Bachmann(R-MN) and Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) are among 80 Senators and Representatives who have recently urged Secretary of State John Kerry to push for the release of American Pastor Saeed Abedini in Iran. Abedini was sentenced to eight years in prison for his leadership in the Iranian underground church movement.
Abedini was arrested last month while helping start an orphanage and was tortured and beaten for the “crime” of being a Christian.
The 80 Senators and Representatives sent a letter of concern to Kerry, urging him to act. They wrote: “Every American citizen traveling abroad should have the assurance that the U.S. government will come vigorously to his or her defense if they are unjustly detained or imprisoned,” the lawmakers concluded. “We respectfully request that you continue to use every diplomatic avenue possible … to secure Mr. Abedini’s unconditional release and personally and publicly condemn his arbitrary detention in a statement.”
Pray for Abedini’s release from prison! Learn more about this tragic persecution and other Islamic outrages: U.S. Lawmakers Pressure for Release of American Pastor Imprisoned in Iran; Religious Freedom Coalition.
Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time. We shouldn’t waste on dollar of taxpayers’ money nor one American life on this person. But, it gives someone like you a chance to build up your funds and whine about persecution.
Reply to Jerry: You sure are full of hate! I will be praying for you.
I believe Pastor Saeed Abedini’s “crime” was preaching the Gospel in season and out of season as the Lord tells us to in His Word. He has joined the ranks of such company as Paul the Apostle, who was also imprisoned for preaching the Gospel, as were many of the Lord’s disciples. Believers who loved Jesus also worked and prayed for Paul’s release as well as the release of the other Brethren who suffered bonds for the name of the Lord. A just government will indeed pressure rogue nations to bring justice to those who are falsely accused and imprisoned. I am grateful to our Senators and Representatives who will speak out about human rights abuses such as have been inflicted on Pastor Abedini. God grant them victory in securing his release.
We are commanded in Proverbs 24:11
“Deliver those who are being taken away to death, And those who are staggering to slaughter, Oh hold them back.”
What will you say when they come for you and there is no one to speak on your behalf because all of the Christians have been killed or imprisoned?
Sorry, my reply above was to Jerry.
