'Please pray for Iranian Pastor Yousef Nadarkhani who has received a death sentence for apostasy (i.e. leaving Islam). We have received the following update from Middle East Concern.
"First, his lawyer has been informed that the case is being referred to Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Second, the Supreme Court has announced today (11th October) that it would be willing to consider a further appeal. These are unusual developments in Iran's legal system, and are likely to further delay the issuing of a written verdict following the most recent hearing.'
