"Saeed's imprisonment is a clear violation of the rule of law and of his fundamental right to exercise his religion of choice ‘in community with others and in public or private' ‘in worship, observance, practice and teaching', as guaranteed by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the ICCPR." -Dr. Grégor Puppinck, Director General of ECLJ

Below is an update from Jay Sekulow, Chief Counsel for the American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ), the group that is working to see Pastor Saeed set free.

Last week and this one as well, an ACLJ team is petitioning the United Nations in Geneva, on behalf of the persecuted pastor.

Update from Jay Sekulow:

This Friday could mark a turning point in our fight for Pastor Saeed and our fight against Christian persecution in the Muslim world. (Photo: ACLJ)

I—along with ACLJ Executive Director Jordan Sekulow—will be testifying before the U.S. House of Representatives, shining the bright light of truth on Iran's horrific treatment of Pastor Saeed Abedini, a U.S. citizen imprisoned in Iran for his Christian faith.

As we focus on Pastor Saeed, we will also address the problem of Christian persecution not just in Iran but also in Muslim Brotherhood-led Egypt and other Middle Eastern nations that have oppressed and displaced millions of Christians. (Photo: Saeed's wife and children/FOXNews.com)

And today our legal team is once again in Geneva, attending U.N. meetings on behalf of Pastor Saeed.

This is an historic moment. This is the moment the world truly becomes aware of Christian persecution in Muslim lands.
