Maryam Naghash-Zargaran has been returned to her prison cell from
hospital – before medics were able to treat her properly for serious health
problems.
Please pray that God will
heal and comfort our Iranian sister who’s now back behind bars in Tehran’s Evin
Prison.
Maryam had been on hunger strike in protest at the lack of proper medical
care she’s had in jail. She was ‘almost comotose’ by the time she was finally allowed out of prison for treatment on June 6, having
deposited a bond of £74,000.
When a court ordered her return to jail last week, her family applied to
have her medical leave extended. The prosecutor’s office refused – and
threatened to confiscate her bond money. She was returned to jail on
Monday.
Maryam, who has a Muslim background, has been in jail since
2013
- Please pray that God will heal and strengthen Maryam in a way that human doctors cannot. Pray for her swift release.
- Thank God that Maryam’s fellow prisoners have been supporting her and backing her bid for medical treatment.
- Pray that every Christian behind bars in Iran today will know God’s peace and presence.
because of her work on an orphanage withPastor Saeed Abedini. She’s serving a four-year
sentence.
