Saeed Abedini, the Boise minister held in an Iranian prison for nearly three years, was arrested by Boise Police on Sunday on a misdemeanor charge of violating a no-contact order.
Abedini, 37, appeared in court Monday where he pleaded not guilty and was assigned a public defender.
In January 2016,
a judge told Abedini that the only contact he was to have with his
estranged wife, Naghmeh, was via text or email for matters concerning
their two children. At Abedini’s court hearing on Monday, an Ada County
prosecutor said Abedini violated the no-contact order by sending
derogatory, name-calling text messages to Naghmeh.

Abedini pleaded guilty in February 2017 to violating the restraining order. He also pleaded guilty in 2007 to domestic abuse.
