NCRI - A California pastor that was taken into custody this week in Iran while protesting the imprisonment of five fellow Christians has been released and sent home to the United States, Christian News Network reported.
Eddie Romero of La Puente was taken into custody on Monday as he spoke outside of Evin Prison, where the Christians are being held.
Reports state that he had been traveling with a tourist group overseas this month, and broke away from the group last Thursday to go missing for a time. He crossed into Iran from Turkey, and then was spotted standing in front of the prison where he was briefly held.
According to reports, Romero called his family on Tuesday from the Swiss Embassy in Tehran and advised that he would be taking a flight back to the United States
