LifeHiscost Posted July 1, 2011 Posted July 1, 2011 Quote: The pastor is imprisoned in Lakan prison, where authorities have used various methods, including medication, to convert him back to Islam. After Youcef refused to convert to Islam, his wife was arrested, put on trial without an attorney and sentenced to life in prison. She was later released after an attorney appealed her sentence. The Nadarkhanis’ children were cared for by a relative while they were both in prison. Death Sentence Upheld The Iranian Supreme Court has upheld the death sentence of Pastor Youcef. He has been in prison since October 2009, and the appeal of his death sentence was rejected by the Iranian Supreme Court on June 28, 2011. He is to be executed by hanging. If the death sentence is carried out, it will be the first court-ordered execution of a Christian in Iran in 20 years. From Voice of the Martyrs When was the last time you were persecuted for your faith in Jesus? "Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution."2 Timothy 3:12 NKJV God blesses! Quote Lift Jesus up!!
Moderators John317 Posted July 1, 2011 Moderators Posted July 1, 2011 Do you have a link to news sites which discuss the pastor's situation? What, if anything, is being done by Western nations and other Christians to free the pastor? Quote John 3:16-17 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. [17] For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.
