Tweet for Youcef Reaches 160 Countries

The ACLJ’s Tweet for Youcef campaign is having a tremendous impact around the world. Every day people all across the world are learning about Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani’s plight, as Iran continues to illegally hold Pastor Youcef in prison, under the threat of execution for his Christian faith, for more than 848 days.

Here are some important facts about the impact you are having by being Pastor Youcef’s voice:

The ACLJ’s Tweet for Youcef campaign has also gained international media attention.

International attention on Pastor Youcef has led world leaders from more than 15 nations to officially condemned Iran’s actions and call for Pastor Youcef’s immediate release, but this number should be much higher.

In order to increase international pressure on Iran, we would like to reach over 1 million people every day for Pastor Youcef. In less than two weeks we are one-third of the way there. We still need 2,500 people to join the Tweet for Youcef effort to help us reach our goal.
