In June 2016, Naser and three visiting Azerbaijian believers were arrested at an engagement party near Tehran, Iran. The three Christians were subsequently granted a conditional release and they have since returned to their homeland.
Naser, who was considered the leader of the Christian gathering, was convicted and sentenced to 10 years in prison on charges of “acting against national security through the formation and establishment of an illegal church organization in his home”.
Although Naser’s previous appeal against his sentence was rejected, he did not give up. The Supreme Court has decided that his latest appeal will be heard, although the date and time of the hearing is not known at the time of publishing this report.
Please pray for strength and protection as Naser continues to serve his prison sentence in a notorious and dangerous prison. Pray that he will find peace, comfort and encouragement in the Lord even during the darkest times of his life.
Pray that Naser’s conviction will be overturned and he will be released and reunited with his family.
