(Washington, DC) - The American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ),
which focuses on constitutional and human rights law, said today’s
action by an Iranian court convicting and sentencing American Pastor
Saeed Abedini for his Christian faith is a travesty that sadly
underscores Iran’s brazen violation of international law and a tragic
reminder that Iran is one of the world’s worst offenders of religious
freedom.
In an unexpected development in Iran today and without family
present, Judge Pir-Abassi of Branch 26 of the Iranian Revolutionary
Court – known as the “hanging judge”
– verbally convicted and sentenced Pastor Saeed to eight years in
prison for threatening the national security of Iran through his
leadership in Christian house churches.
