Saeed is free!

Rejoice!  The ACLJ has confirmed that Pastor Saeed Abedini has been let out of prison!

We can now officially confirm that Pastor Saeed has been freed.  In addition there are reports that 3 other Americans imprisoned in Iran have also been released.

News broke late last night that Pastor Saeed had been taken from his prison cell to Iran’s Central Intelligence agency.  While the details are still coming in, we can confirm that this morning he was released.

This is a major victory.  We are incredibly grateful to the more than 1.1 million people who have joined us in fighting across the globe for Pastor Saeed’s freedom.

They even include a supportive response from Naghmeh:

“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.”

With Saeed’s release we should continue to pray for healing, both physical healing as well as reconciliation in his family.  God-speed Saeed.
