Update on Saeed: Today Saeeds mom visited Saeed in the prison (behind a glass window). Saeed was encouraged to know that so many cities and countries (460+ cities and over 30 countries!) are gathering for a prayer vigil to remember him and the persecuted church on September 26 (2nd anniversary of his imprisonment in Iran). Thank you for all who are standing with us and the persecuted church. Thank you for bringing a smile to Saeeds face during such hard times... Saeed still seemed to struggle with pain in his stomach and could not visit for long. He left 10 minutes into the visit due to pain and health issues. Please continue to pray for his health and his release. Saeeds mom was hospitalized again for the third time the last few days due to constant struggle and follow up on Saeeds health issues and clemency option with the Iranian government and their harsh treatment of her. Please pray for her health as well. I am happy to announce that UN has once again condemned the imprisonment of Saeed and has demanded his release and compensation by the Iranian government for the time Saeed has spent unjustly in prison! Below is an excerpt: The Working Group believes that, taking into account all the circumstances of the case, the adequate remedy would be to release Mr. Abedini and accord him an enforceable right to compensation in accordance with article 9.5 of the ICCPR. aclj.org/united-nations/un-condemns-american-pastor-saeeds-arbitrary-imprisonment-as-we-urge-his-release
