Grim Anniversary -- One Year in Iranian Prison for My Husband Pastor Saeed Abedini
By Naghmeh Abedini
One year of abuse. One year of absence.
One year of separation from his young children. One year that my husband, Pastor Saeed Abedini, a U.S. citizen, has endured the brutality of illegal imprisonment in Iran.
One year ago, the government of Iran imprisoned my husband because of his Christian faith. Earlier last summer, Saeed travelle to Iran – something he had done many times without incident – to finalize work on a government-endorsed orphanage we had been building in northwest Iran. . . .
