Naghmeh Abedini Panahi first made national news when she publicly advocated for the release of her then husband, Saeed Abedini, who was imprisoned in Iran for his Christian faith. Throughout Saeed’s imprisonment, Naghmeh brought worldwide attention to the plight of persecuted Christians and tirelessly proclaimed the gospel to millions of people across the globe by speaking at human rights groups, major news outlets, the United Nations in Geneva, the European Parliament, and the U.S. Congress, even meeting with then president Barack Obama and future president Donald Trump. But Naghmeh’s life was not what it seemed. When she finally revealed the years-long domestic abuse she had suffered at the hands of her husband, many Christian leaders and other former supporters turned their backs on her, and some even urged her to remain silent. But as God gave her strength to speak the truth, He also led the way for her to begin a whole new ministry: speaking and working on behalf of women and children vulnerable to abuse and oppression.
