US Department of State has stated that an American pastor who has been jailed in Iran has been sentenced to 8 years in prison. While the State Department is trying to get the Iranians to release Saeed Abedini there is no guarantee.
Earlier this month the Iranian semi-official news agency, ISNA, quoted Abedini’s attorney as saying his client stood trial in the
Revolutionary Court on charges of attempting to undermine state security
by creating a network of Christian churches in private homes. He denies it.
The agency condemns Iran's continued violation of his universal rights and freedoms and is seeking to fix this issue.
