Pastor Behnam Irani was sentenced to six years in prison in 2011 on charges of offences against national security. He has been badly treated during his imprisonment and his health suffered to the extent that he needed an operation in February to stop internal bleeding. On 7th June, Behnam was summoned to appear before the head of a revolutionary tribunal in Karaj. The summons was irregular and Behnam wrote a letter protesting against the order. In response, intelligence agents arrived at the prison, beat him and brought Behnam before the prison governor. They then took him by force to the head of the revolutionary tribunal and he was then transferred to an unknown location. We are asked to pray that Behnam and his family will know the Lord's presence and support; Behnam's whereabouts will become known; and he will experience God's physical healing, including injuries sustained during the beating.
