Today in history

Today marks two years since Saeed Abedini has been locked away
in an Iranian prison. His crime? Being a Christian.
--- Quote ---
> The event in Washington will be followed by 500 prayer vigils
worldwide Friday, the anniversary date.
>
> In a statement for WND, Nagmeh Abedini, the pastor’s wife,
said she and her children pray for nothing less than a miracle.
>
> “The kids and I are longing to see Saeed returned home safely
to us. The kids have been suffering for too long. Our family is
ready. It is time,” she said. “We are praying for a miracle.”
>
> She said her hope is that “as thousands gather together on
September 26, our governments and leaders will be reminded of
the importance of religious freedom for all and continue to
pressure Iran to secure Saeed’s release.”
>
> In a statement, Samaritan’s Purse President Franklin Graham
said Abedini faces new threats to his safety “as ISIS militants
imprisoned in the same jail are threatening his life.”
>
> WND reported in August that Rajai Shahr prison inmates who
were affiliated with ISIS were making death threats against the
American pastor.
>
> Abedini has told his family members he fears for his life
after he was told the ISIS prisoners plan to murder him because
of his Christian faith, according to the American Center for Law
and Justice.

I have sympathy for the imprisoned, but just can't click that
WND link. It makes me feel dirty.

What I don't get is that from what I read, it isn't illegal to
be Christian in Iran. Yet people get imprisoned as an example
for promoting Christianity.
If that's the society they want, one where Christianity is
illegal, then just make it illegal so everyone knows the rules
beforehand and we can avoid that hellhole.
