New York Daily News - American Pastor Saeed Abedini Abruptly Moved to More Dangerous Prison: ACLJ
By Carol Kurvilla, NYDailyNews.com
After spending more than a year locked up in Tehran’s notorious Evin prison, Iranian-American pastor Saeed Abedini was unexpectedly transferred to an even more dangerous prison Sunday, according to lawyers at the American Center for Law and Justice. He was surrounded by political prisoners in Evin, but at the Rajai Shahr Prison, he’s reportedly stuck in a 10x10 cell with five inmates who were likely jailed for murder or rape.
It’s the kind of place where prisoners simply disappear forever, said ACLJ’s executive director Jordan Sekulow.
“He could easily be killed not by formal execution but by a fellow inmate,” Sekulow told The News. “That’s why we are so concerned right now about his safety and survival.”. . .
