Pastor Behnam Irani is in prison currently serving a five year prison sentence and he has 2 years and 10 months left to serve. The crime he was convicted for was crimes against national security and the activities they listed in his sentencing were hosting services, having Christian materials on hand and that he was an apostate from Islam and encouraged others to do the same.
He has faced many difficulties in the prison. We received news on August 28, 2014 that Pastor Behnam Irani has not been in contact with his family since Monday August 25th. They were very concerned for him. I also learned that on Monday in Ghezal Hezar Prison there was a riot and the prisoners took control of the court yard. A man was being taken to be hung and the prisoners rose up and resisted the guards and police. In order to regain control the police shot several people. We are praying the Lord helps us get an update regarding the situation of brother Behnam.
Please remember him and his family in your prayers.
