Report: Iranian Christian Pastor Nadarkhani “Summoned” on Christmas Day to Return to Prison for His Faith – 12/25/12
Reports today indicate Iranian Christian Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani, who was released from prison in September, has been “summoned” to turn himself in once again to serve the remaining 45 days in prison of his prison sentence. Nadarkhani was jailed for his faith in Jesus Christ, and served nearly three years in prison before being released after relentless international pressure. But the pathetic radical Islamic thug regime in Iran has apparently imprisoned him again on Christmas Day:
MIDEAST FACES: Iranian media sources are reporting that the Christian pastor living in Iran who was arrested on charges of converting to Christianity from Islam and then released in September is now in custody again on Christmas Day. Sources say Youcef Nadarkhani, 35, married with two children, was summoned to turn himself into Iranian authorities in Rasht, close to his home, to complete the remaining 45 days of his 3-year sentence. Upon his release in September, Nadarkhani had been told the remaining 45 days would be served in probation form. . . . Read More
The attorney who helped defend Nadarkhani in Iran is also languishing in Iran’s notorious Evin Prison.
