(RNS) Saeed Abedini, a pastor jailed in Iran since 2012 for allegedly trying to set up house churches, was one of four Iranian-Americans freed on Saturday (Jan. 16) in a prisoner deal with the U.S. linked to the nuclear deal between Iran and six world powers.

Abedini’s cause has been championed by Christians around the world, and especially evangelicals in the U.S. who have strongly pressured the Obama administration to work more vigorously for his release.

The president was criticized in particular for not making Abedini’s release a condition of the pact aimed at preventing Iran from developing nuclear weapons, though it turns out those negotiations were going on in secret.

I’ve been keeping an eye on this for some time. Thank God he has finally been released!! No thanks to the President of the USA.
