This weekend I appeared on Fox News’ Justice with Judge Jeanine alongside Pastor Saeed’s wife Naghmeh.

Naghmeh shared her hope that this year the Obama Administration would take increased efforts to free American Pastor Saeed from imprisonment in Iran.

I discussed how the Obama Administration has decreased sanctions on Iran, but the big question remains: what have we gotten in return?. Pastor Saeed is still suffering in an Iranian prison because of his Christian faith.

The Obama Administration is sitting across the table from the Iranians as Naghmeh’s husband and the father of her two children remains in a brutal prison – now more than two years. This Administration can and must do more. As I told Judge Jeanine, the Obama Administration must use the opportunity to demand this U.S. citizen’s release. Let Pastor Saeed go.

You can watch the full interview above. Please continue to pray and share his story and join with us as we fight for Pastor Saeed’s freedom.
