American Pastor Saeed Abedini has just been released!
We can confirm that after more than three long years in an Iranian prison, Pastor Saeed – a U.S. citizen – was freed earlier this morning. In addition, several other imprisoned Americans were also reportedly released.
We’re delighted this day has finally arrived. We’re grateful for the millions of people who have stood with us in our ongoing efforts – both in this country and abroad – to secure his release.
We have worked and prayed that this day would finally arrive. And now, Pastor Saeed can return home.
Pastor Saeed’s wife Naghmeh said, “This has been an answer to prayer. This is a critical time for me and my family. We look forward to Saeed's return and want to thank the millions of people who have stood with us in prayer during this most difficult time.”
