As we’ve reported, Pastor Youcef’s attorney has now been targeted by the Iranian regime. He’s been convicted and told he will begin serving a 9 year prison sentence soon. His crime? His work on human rights and his desire to help clients like Pastor Youcef.

Make no mistake about it. The circumstances facing Pastor Youcef are now more dire than ever. Without an attorney, he has no legal representation - no advocate to keep him alive and to keep the appeals process going.
