The spouse of imprisoned Iranian-American pastor Saeed Abedini has expressed support for sanctions on Iran as part of negotiations to free her husband and other prisoners of conscience held in the Islamic Republic.
Naghmeh Abedini, the wife of Pastor Abedini, told The Christian Post while serving as a witness at a Congressional hearing Thursday morning that she would "actually approve and be supportive" of sanctions. . . .
In addition to Abedini, other witnesses brought before the House Joint Subcommittee were Dr. Katrina Lantos Swett, vice chair of the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom; Dr. Daniel Calingaert, executive vice president of Freedom House; and Jordan Sekulow, executive director of the American Center for Law Justice. . . .
