An Iranian evangelical pastor, who was suddenly arrested and then imprisoned, has visible marks of torture, his wife said after she visited him.
Pastor Wilson Issavi of the Assyrian Evangelical Church in Kermanshah -- a remote city in western Iran -- is living in dreadful condition and appears to have been tortured while in prison, his wife Medline Nazanin told reporters and human right activists in Iran, according to the Farsi Christian News Network (FCNN).
Nazanin also said intelligence officials told her that her husband is "awaiting his trial and his death sentence."
Issavi is accused of converting Muslims to Christianity and baptizing them.
