Youcef Nadarkhani, Iranian Pastor, May Face Execution For 'Apostasy From Islam'

In 2010, Youcef Nadarkhani was found guilty of apostasy and sentenced to be executed because he refused to give up his Christian faith. In Iran, the national religion is Muslim, and over 98% of the population is in practice of this religion. Youcef has been practicing Christianity since he was a teenager and is now being persecuted for it. Now he is one step closer to being executed. "A death sentence that has been sent for implementation by the judiciary would suggest the person is at imminent risk of execution. If it has been sent to the implementation department, that is very troubling." The United States is in full support of stopping this hatful execution and there is now even a Facebook support group trying to get as many members as it can to help stop this horrible execution.
