Pastor Abedini is an American and went to Iran to open a orphanage and visit family. he was arrested and thrown in prison for being a Christian. no one in the State Dept. has helped this father and husband.please help get this attention to the right people as now he is being brutally tortured and beaten. he won't be released for 8 years. he will not deny Jesus. they say he is now bleeding internally. his children cry each night for thier daddy. his wife is trying to be brave. she is also an American citizen. this is not how Americans are supposed to help each other. i ask you to sign this for his sake and the sake of his family. for our freedom of religion. may God bless you
