Actor Robert Davi is fired up, and rightfully so.
As reports circulated that nuclear talks with Iran “hit a snag on Friday,” Davi took to Twitter to strongly urge people to speak out about the persecution of Saeed Abedini. The Iranian-American pastor was arrested more than a year ago while visiting Iran and is serving an eight-year sentence for practicing his Christian faith.

In addition to imploring President Obama to do something, Davi called on Hollywood, Pope Francis and gays and lesbians to help #FreeSaeed.
' HOLLYWOOD WEIGH IN ON THE CHRISTIAN ABEDINI BEING PERSECUTED IN IRAN I ASK BROTHERS &SISTERS IN THE GAY AND LESBIAN COMMUNITY TO SPEAK OUT

Davi is right. This is one cause the usual Hollywood chorus hasn’t taken up.
'THE AMERICAN PEOPLE SHOULD BE OUTRAGED ABOUT THE PROSECUTION OF ABEDINI BECAUSE HE IS CHRISTIAN -POPE FRANCIS INTERCEDE AS VICAR OF CHRIST

'PRESIDENT OBAMA FATHER OF OUR COUNTRY FIGHT FOR THE CHRISTIAN ABEDINI -WHY ARE YOU NOT INTERCEDING– WHY ?? WHO IS ACCOUNTABLE?
