[Allen West blog] American Pastor, Saeed Abedini, has been held in prison in Iran since 2012. Abedini, who was born a Muslim but converted to Christianity was sentenced in 2013 to eight years in prison supposedly on charges of "undermining national security" in Iran because he was holding private religious gatherings in Christian homes.He has not seen his family in three years. The Obama administration has seemingly made little to no effort to free him -- even while they sit across from his captors, attempting to negotiate a deal.
Now reports are surfacing that Abedini is facing new and more horrible forms of torture in Iranian prison. ACLJ.org reports, "Iranian officials are ...psychologically tormenting him...the prison guards have become increasingly hostile.
