I wrote a letter to the editor and sent it to both the Idaho Statesman and the Idaho Press-Tribune. I think it would be great if some of you would do the same for your local newspapers. Feel free to use mine with your name if youd like: On Nov. 11 Sen. Ted Cruz sent President Obama a letter, signed by 23 senators, asking him to renew his call for Boise Pastor Saeed Abedinis (#saveSaeed) release from an Iranian prison where he is incarcerated, tortured, and in grave danger for his life, because of his faith in Jesus Christ. Yesterday the European Parliament wrote a similar letter to Catherine Ashton, High Representative of the European Union of the Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Council of the European Union. At the beginning of the month Pastor Saeed was transferred from Evin Prison to Rajai Shahr prison where he is denied both visitation and the medication needed for the injuries he sustained at Evin. The ACLJ has provided a petition we can all sign to aid in the release of Pastor Saeed: beheardproject/saeed#sign. Please take a moment to add your voice in calling for Pastor Saeeds release by signing online. Remember the prisoners, as though in prison with them, and those who are ill-treated, since you yourselves also are in the body. (Heb. 13:3). Saeeds story needs to be a frequently seen one on the pages of this newspaper. Grace and Peace, Phil Debenham Boise
