Pastor Saeed Abedini addresses U.N. rally for Free Iran in New York September 20, 2016.
The Christian Post, September 21, 2016 - Iranian-American Pastor Saeed Abedini spoke out against mass executions before a Free Iran rally at the U.N. in New York on Tuesday, preaching that God sees all the bloodshed, and He never forgets the cries of the victims. Abedini said in his speech, posted online, that for the last 40 years in Iran 'we have seen that freedom of press, freedom of religion, freedom of speech have been abused.' He recounted his three and-a-half years spent in Iranian prison for his Christian faith, and noted that every Wednesday in Rajaeeshar (Gohardasht) prison, where he was kept, government officials would execute his fellow prisoners. 'We are here to be a voice for people who don't have any voice,' Abedini told the rally. He then told imprisoned victims directly: 'You are alive in our hearts, and we are standing with you.' The pastor, who has been speaking out against the ongoing mass executions by the government of Iran, said that God never forgets the victims. 'God always stands with the victims. God sees all the tears, he sees all the bloodshed, and He never forgets any cry,' he told the crowd in New York City.
