PETITION - FREE PASTOR SAEED

Dear Conservatives , 
Your help is truly needed! Tomorrow, Naghmeh Abedini, the wife of the American Christian Pastor who is unjustly imprisoned in Iran will testify before the Congressional Joint Subcommittee Hearing on Global Human Rights.
Please help her voice be heard, sign the petition demanding the release of her husband, Pastor Saeed Abedini. 
Secretary of State John Kerry left Geneva with a deal to relieve sanctions placed on Iran without discussing the life of the American citizen, father of two children, husband, and pastor who is being held unjustly in an Iranian prison.
Pastor Saeed Abedini has been imprisoned in Iran for over one year when he traveled back there to help finish building an orphanage.  
The Iranian government officially refers to him as being a "national security risk” making allegations that Pastor Saeed contributed to the start of hundreds of home churches and helped young Muslims convert to Christianity.
The allegations stem from a visit over 10 years ago and there is no proof.  
His only crime is BEING A CHRISTIAN!
Please join our international movement to call on world leaders to demand the release of Pastor Saeed.

The Whitehouse claims their attempts to call on Iran to free Pastor Saeed are hindered due to the fact that the two nations have no to little diplomatic relationship.

But recently, when given an opportunity to speak directly with the President of Iran, Obama did not mention the issue.
Pastor Saeed is being held in Iran's toughest prison. An international report recently released is claiming that Pastor Saeed is ill and is not being provided the medications he needs to survive. The same report goes on to say that the prison that he is being kept in is overpopulated by 500%.
It is our turn now to tell Barack Obama and the rest of his "P5+1” colleagues to quit playing games with this man's life!
DEMAND FOR THE RELEASE OF PASTOR SAEED
The media calls Iranian President Hassan Rouhani a "moderate” and "reformer” -- but yet under his term Iran is among the highest offenders of human rights violations throughout the world. Every day, countless Christians are being held in Iranian prisons for simply their faith. Every day, countless Iranians are being jailed for political disagreements. WHEN WILL OBAMA DEMAND HUMANITY FROM IRAN?!
Pastor Saeed and the other unjustly imprisoned are being held in worse than deplorable conditions!
It is time we vocalized to world leaders to PRIORITIZE THE RELEASE of Pastor Saeed and the countless other Christians who are being held due to their faith.  
Thank you,
Gregory Mertz and the whole CitizenGO team
