On April 20th twelve government officials interrupted a Sunday service in Karshi town. They filmed the service and the people in the congregation. When the service finished, they took down the names and addresses of all Christians, threatening them with imprisonment and fines. They even asked all the children for their names and addresses. One official threatened a little girl with the words: &#8220;Do you want to go to prison? If not, tell me your address.&#8221; The officials then searched the building, confiscating all Christian literature, CDs and even personal Bibles. Three Christians were detained but later released.<o:p></o:p></p> </div> TCW Authorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17670070074138564679noreply@blogger.com
