Christian Today - Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani Spends 35th Birthday Behind Bars

By ChristianToday.com

Today (April 11, 2012), is Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani's birthday, and sources in Iran confirm that he is still alive. Thirty-five years ago, on the 23rd of the Farvardin month of the Persian Calendar, Youcef was born in Iran.

Tiffany Barrans, writing for the American Center For Law And Justice (ACLJ) website (aclj.org), said, "This is the third birthday that Pastor Youcef has been forced to celebrate behind bars, condemned to death in Iran for apostasy - becoming a Christian in a regime governed by Shariah (Islamic) law. . . .

She concluded by saying, "Please continue to pray for Pastor Youcef. As a Birthday present for Pastor Youcef and symbol of solidarity for those persecuted for their faith, please let the world know that you support Pastor Youcef by signing up to Tweet for Youcef today.
