Saeed Abedin
I wonder what exactly Iran has in mind for this man, I am really hoping he doesn't get hurt in prison.
The State Department ducked a hearing Friday that will focus on the case of imprisoned American pastor Saeed Abedini, just days after the leading U.S. Representative to the U.N. Human Rights Council declined to specifically address the pastor's case during a meeting on Iran's human rights record.
Rep. Frank Wolf, R-Va., chairman of the Capitol Hill commission holding the hearing, slammed the Obama administration for turning down the invitation to testify.
"It is amazing," Wolf told FoxNews.com. "I can't, almost, believe it."
The hearing, which began Friday morning, focuses on the plight of religious minorities in Iran. Slated to testify are the group representing the Abedini family in the U.S. As well as Abedini's wife, Naghmeh.
