Farshid Fathi

Location: Iran (Islamic Republic of)
Arrested: December 2010

On April 17, a prison guard broke Farshid Fathi's foot when he stomped on it during a cell inspection. Farshid went to aid a prisoner who had been beaten, and a guard stopped Farshid and crushed his bare foot with his heavy boot. Farshid's foot and toe were broken. Farshid spent three days in agony before he was allowed to be taken to the hospital.

"Though I was in dire pain, I took it as a gift from our Lord to get out of prison even for a few hours," Farshid wrote. "Of course, we forgive them for all they have done to us because we are followers of the One who says, 'Father, please forgive...' Please... pray for me that I may know him and be found in him and the power of resurrection." More Info
