Fox News - Latest Iranian Media Reports Suggest Increased Danger for Pastor Targeted for His Beliefs

By Perry Chiaramonte, FoxNews.com

New, conflicting reports out of Iran raise further concerns about the fate of a pastor being persecuted for his Christian beliefs.

Iranian state-funded Press TV reported in an article published online Wednesday that Youcef Nadarkhani is now considered a security threat and is accused of running a brothel. . . .

A document obtained by rights group American Center for Law and Justice and provided to FoxNews.com shows that apostasy is still the only charge against him, not the rape or security violations he is now said to face.

"Now that we have captured the full attention of the Iranian regime, it is critical that we determine whether this is more of the same government spin we expect out of Iran, or, more urgently, an attempt to lay out as many reasons that Iran can come up with to justify killing pastor Youcef Nadarkhani," said Jordan Sekulow, Executive Director of the ACLJ.

Sekulow also said that the new allegations that the pastor is a "convicted rapist" could be problematic. . . .
