The Iranian pastor who has spent more than 1,000 days in prison for
his faith in Christ is headed back to court. Iranian authorities are
demanding Youcef Nadarkhani face a judge in Iran on Sept. 8 to answer for "charges brought against him."

to the American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ), it's unclear if the
charges are new or are connected to his apostasy conviction. Nadarkhani
