In another effort to force American pastor Saeed Abedini to recant his faith,
prison officials in Tehran have placed him in solitary confinement, something
the American Center for Law and Justice calls "perhaps his most grave situation

internal bleeding continues -- still going untreated -- and now his kidneys are
not functioning properly. Read more
