Iran: Pastor Abedini moved to a dangerous prison

NCRI – Pastor Saeed Abedini imprisoned by the Iranian regime for preaching Christianity has been moved to a prison where most the alleged criminals are held.

Abedini has been transferred from the Evin prison in Tehran to the Rajai Shahr Prison in the city of Karaj, according to the American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ).

Jordan Sekulow, executive director of ACLJ, said in an interview that it is common for prisoners in the death row ward where Abedini has been placed to kill each other. The Iranian regime has sent those it views as troublemakers there in the past to “have them executed without having to kill them on [their] own,” he said.
