Pastor Nadarkhani: “What Your Prayers Did for Me”
ICC Note:
Pastor Youcef has spent much time thanking everyone for praying for his freedom. While we are overjoyed that he is free, his lawyer is now in prison in Iran for defending people like Pastor Youcef.
 11/30/2012 Iran (ACLJ)-While Pastor Youcef is now free, his Iranian attorney has been imprisoned for more than two months. Iran imprisoned Mohammad Ali Dadkhah for defending people like Pastor Youcef – those persecuted by the Iranian government. Our Tweet for Youcef campaign continues to reach more than 2 million Twitter accounts each day with updates about Pastor Youcef’s attorney.
