Pastor Abedini Now In Solitary.

Concern is growing for Pastor Saeed Abedini, a convert to Christianity with dual United States/Iranian nationality who was sentenced to eight years in prison in January for "actions against the national security of Iran", after he was placed in solitary confinement. According to Mohabat News, Pastor Abedini had taken part in a peaceful courtyard protest over the mistreatment of inmates in Evin Prison, where he is currently being held. The protest reportedly angered prison officials, who subsequently put Pastor Abedini and nine other prisoners in solitary confinement. Pastor Abedini had also signed a petition which criticised the lack of medical care for prisoners and the mistreatment of their families during visits. Baptist Times May 2nd.
