How the Rev. Franklin Graham pushed a domestic abuse victim to return to her husband
. Panahi said Cruz never acknowledged her abuse allegations; a Cruz spokesman said his office was not “made aware of the details of Naghmeh’s marriage” before his advocacy.Emails from Graham, meanwhile, show the allegations had not diminished his view of Abedini as “a hero” who “suffered greatly for his faith.”
“I believe it was not a marriage-counseling situation, it’s not like you know ‘he leaves the top off the toothpaste,’” Lotz recounted. “I would not want them back together where he could hurt her or the children.” Lotz declined to comment on her brother’s response. Three months later, Panahi said, she met with Graham and her husband in a hotel conference room in downtown Boise,
Abedini filed for divorce in October 2016, citing irreconcilable differences, and a judge eventually granted Panahi full custody. In 2017, Abedini pleaded guilty to violating a protection order taken out by Panahi. In 2018, he was arrested for violating a no-contact order, according to police records.
“Back then, I probably would’ve said work it out in the church,” Panahi said. “Now I would say get somewhere safe. Write everything down and gather evidence. Don’t go through the church. Go to authorities.”
