Behnam Irani
By Stoyan Zaimov
A Christian pastor imprisoned for his faith, who had been missing for nearly three weeks and feared to have been executed without notice by Iranian authorities, has been returned to prison in Ghezal Hezar Prison in Karaj, Iran.
Present Truth Ministries, which has been campaigning for Pastor Behnam Irani’s release, said on Wednesday that the pastor has been able to get back in touch with his family.
“He was unable to say where he had been taken or what they did to him,” the group reported.
“He was missing since June 7, 2014 without any information being given to his family regarding his whereabouts. The fear was that he was taken and executed without any notice. Thank you for praying and taking action on his behalf.”
Christian Solidarity Worldwide reported that in the early hours of June 7, Irani was beaten in prison and transferred to an unknown location.
