Nasim - serving a four-year sentence in Evin prison since 2013. Earlier this year Prayer-Alert readers prayed for her health after she went on hunger strike and the prison released her on temporary medical furlough to recover. She did not fully recover and has serious health problems, including a heart condition; pray for her health and for peace for her family.
Ebrahim Firouzi - in a particularly dangerous prison in Karaj, serving a five-year sentence for Christian activities. He sent a letter from prison to others in Iran, saying ‘If you are courageous in God’s way, God’s grace will be with you. Do not fear what you are doing and raise the banner of Jesus in the name of God.’ There are many others not serving sentences, but detained pre-trial. Among this unknown number, are Amin, Amir and Hadi - arrested on 26 August during a picnic with their families in Tehran province.
