The Iranian judiciary has issued a perplexing decision in the case of Youcef Nadrkhani. They decided to keep him in prison for one more year in order to use whatever means necessary to cause him to convert to Islam. After one year we do not know what they will do. It is clear that they want Youcef’s case to slip away from international attention.

Youcef’s local attorney in Rasht was informed that the head of the judiciary, Ayatollah Sadegh Larijani, has ordered the presiding judge over the trial in Rasht, Mr. Ghazi Kashani to do nothing for one year. The order was to not issue a verdict and hold Youcef in prison. They were told to use whatever means necessary to cause him to recant and return to Islam.
