US concerned over fate of Iranian Christian pastor

None

The Obama administration says it is deeply worried that Iran may execute a Christian pastor.

 

State Department spokesman Mark Toner says the pastor, Youcef Nadarkhani, faces a death sentence for charges of apostasy and refusing to recant his Christian faith. He cited reports that a provincial court is renewing the execution order for Nadarkhani. (AP)
