In the face of rising persecution of people on the grounds of faith or belief, over 100 parliamentarians from almost 50 countries met on 18 September in New York to discuss ways to advance religious freedoms.
Saeed Abedini’s wife, Naghmeh, continues to advocate for her husband’s freedom. Speaking at a US Congress hearing, Naghmeh Abedini said that her husband’s imprisonment in Iran has torn her family apart.
Naghmeh Abedini, the wife of imprisoned pastor Saeed Abedini, spoke at the Conservative Political Action Conference over the weekend, urging citizens to stand for religious freedom.
The President took time to speak with Abedini and her two children privately before addressing a large audience at Boise State University, assuring the family that saving Saeed is "a top priority."
Naghmeh Abedini is inviting Christians around the world to band together on Sept. 26 in observance of the two-year anniversary of her husband Saeed Abedini’s sentencing to an Iranian prison.
