OBAMA IS SILENT: IRAN APPEALS COURT AFFIRMS 8 YEAR PRISON SENTENCE FOR AMERICAN PASTOR ABEDINI


As reported by the Digital Journal at http://www.digitaljournal.com/pr/1432424, in their article:

"ACLJ: Iran Delivers 'Devastating' Blow 
To American Pastor Saeed Abedini - 
Rejects Appeal, 
Affirms 8-Year Prison Sentence"

Excerpt:
"The American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ), which defends human rights and religious freedom, said today an appeals court in Tehran rejected the appeal of American Pastor Saeed Abedini, a U.S. citizen, and refused to reduce his 8-year prison sentence. Pastor Saeed's wife, Naghmeh, called the decision "devastating" and the ACLJ is now exploring all legal and governmental options available.
"While we remained hopeful that Iran would use its own appeal process to finally show respect for Pastor Saeed's basic human rights, again Iran has demonstrated an utter disregard for the fundamentals of human rights," said Jordan Sekulow, Executive Director of the ACLJ, which represents Pastor Saeed's wife and their two children."
Naghmeh Abedini said:
"My husband is serving 8 years in the notorious Evin prison and facing daily threats and abuse by radicals because he refuses to deny his Christian faith. And yet, my President, President Obama, has not spoken a word about him."

"Senior Master Sergeant Phillip Monk has served in the Air Force for 19 years, and has been stationed at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio. When he recently returned from deployment, he found that he had a new commander, who was a lesbian." "But the commander told Monk that he needed to be on the same page as she was, and that if he didn’t do so, he would be moved elsewhere. She then questioned him on whether he believes it is discrimination for a person to state that they disagree with homosexual “marriage.” He replied that he did not wish to answer because of his convictions."

"Monk, a devout evangelical Christian, says he was told he wasn’t on the same page as the commander and that if he didn’t get on the same page, they would find another place for him to work. Later, the commander ordered Monk to answer the question of whether people who object to gay marriage are discriminating. Monk responded that he could not answer the way his commander wanted and feared an honest response would put him in legal trouble. At that point, Monk was relieved of his duties."
