Naghmeh Abedini

Naghmeh Abedini is the wife of Christian pastor Saeed Abedini, who is currently serving an eight year prison sentence in Iran because of his Christian faith. Since Saeed’s arrest in 2012, Naghmeh has gathered support for her husband by speaking before churches, the news media, the U. S. Congress and the United Nations. Naghmeh’s tireless efforts have led to international publicity on Saeed’s case, involvement by national and international legislators and a widespread prayer movement in the Christian community. Naghmeh and Saeed were married in 2004 and have two young children.
