The American pastor held captive in Iran – Saeed Abedini – has been moved to a more dangerous prison and is no longer allowed to have visitors, according to the American Center for Law & Justice. The transfer happens in the midst of thawing relations between the United States and Iran.
“The ACLJ has confirmed through Pastor Saeed’s family members in Iran that he has been moved from Evin Prison in Tehran to Rajai Shahr Prison in Karaj – an even more dangerous prison where he faces life-threatening conditions and treatment,” ACLJ Executive Director Jordan Sekulow said in a blog post that was sent out to the media.
“A member of Pastor Saeed’s family in Iran arrived at Evin Prison today for the regular weekly visit and was told that Pastor Saeed had been moved to this this prison outside of Tehran yesterday — about an hour and a half drive away,” Sekulow said. “The family member travelled to Rajai Shahr Prison and was told that Pastor Saeed is imprisoned there and is not permitted to have any visitors.”. . .
