Baptists Fined In Uzbekistan

Uzbekistan's government continues to fine members of the Baptist Union and harass Protestant Christians, according to Forum 18 News. "Valery Konovalov has been forced to pay a fine, after he was forced to appear as a witness in the trial of three leaders of the Baptist Union," Forum 18 reported. "The three have themselves been forced to pay what the same court claimed was unpaid taxes and two were removed from their posts." In addition, the parents of children who attend Protestant schools in Uzbekistan have been warned to stop attending the churches. "The children were made to write statements promising that they would stop attending churches," a Christian told Forum 18. "People are afraid to talk to us when they find out we are Christians."
