Iran: pastor’s letter to son

Abedini family with Franklin Graham

Saeed Abedini, an Iranian American Christian pastor, has been detained in Iran since the summer of 2012.

Initially incarcerated in Evin Prison in September 2012, he was sentenced to eight years in prison on 27 January 2013, on charges of undermining national security through private religious gatherings in Christian homes in Iran in the early 2000s. In November 2013, the Iranian regime moved him to Rajai Shahr prison, outside Karaj.

Saeed Abedini, who has not seen his son Jacob since he was four years old, wrote a letter to him for his seventh birthday in March.
