AFP News - Wife of Pastor Jailed in Iran Slams Obama Silence
By AFP News
The wife of an Iranian-American pastor imprisoned in Iran said Monday she was "extremely disappointed" that US President Barack Obama had remained silent on the case.
The statement by Naghmeh Abedini followed reports from Tehran that an Iranian appeals court had upheld her husband Saeed Abedini's conviction and eight-year prison term.
"The news out of Iran is devastating to our family," she said in a statement released by the American Center for Law and Justice, which is representing the family. . . .
