Yesterday, The Voice of the Martyrs broke the news that Pastor Youcef's death sentence has been upheld by the Iranian Supreme Court.

The Iranian Supreme Court has upheld the death sentence of a pastor convicted of apostasy and accused of evangelizing Muslims. Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani, 34, has been in prison since October 2009, and the appeal of his death sentence was rejected by the Iranian Supreme Court on June 28, 2011. He is to be executed by hanging.
