Iranian Pastor Yousef Nadarkhani, originally arrested on apostasy charges and sentenced to death, now could be accused of zionism, potentially putting him in further danger. The Iranian Supreme Court ruled that Nardakhani has often participated in Christian worship and organized home church services, evangelizing and has been baptized and baptized others, converting Muslims to Christianity. The White House and Congressional leaders have urged Iran to grant Nadarkhani an unconditional release.
