An American pastor that is imprisoned in his homeland of Iran for planting house churches in the country a decade ago has been moved to solitary confinement, reports state.

The American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ), which has been fighting for the release of Saeed Abedini, states that ten prisoners, including the pastor, were moved to confinement after they signed a letter expressing concerns about the lack of medical care in prison. Abedini has been struggling with internal bleeding, but officials advise that he will have to wait several more months to receive assistance.

“That apparently prompted prison officials to retaliate, selecting ten of the prisoners and placing them in solitary confinement,” the ACLJ explains. “Our sources indicate that Pastor Saeed is likely to be beaten again, in private, away from other witnesses and prisoners.”. . .
