Iranian Christian Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani has been charged, convicted and sentenced to death for apostasy – becoming a Christian. When Iranian officials demanded that he recant his faith in Jesus Christ or die, he responded, “I cannot.” He has been illegally imprisoned and separated from his wife and two boys since 2009. We are fighting to save his life and win his freedom. We need your voice in this fight; please lend us your voice for Pastor Youcef today.

UPDATE: March 4, 2012:

As of Saturday afternoon, March 3, 2012, the ACLJ’s sources in Iran have confirmed that Christian Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani is still alive. Reports that his execution occurred earlier today are false, and images being circulated purporting to be from his execution are outdated and demonstratively false. The ACLJ still believes that the execution order has been issued, but we can confirm that as of today Pastor Youcef is still alive. International pressure continues to build on Iran. Please continue to pray and Tweet for Youcef, as we fight for his life. *** Though we still believe that his execution has been ordered, it is clear he is still alive today because of renewed international pressure on Iran – immense pressure from people worldwide raising their voices, demanding that his life be spared. In less than one week, more than 145,000 people have signed our petition calling for Pastor Youcef’s release. We need to keep that pressure on. Will you join us in being a voice for him by allowing us to tweet once a day about Pastor Youcef through your twitter account . . . Here's how: aclj.org/Nadarkhani Then please pass this on to all your contacts immediately; let's make it impossible for Iran to go ahead with this.
