More detailed introductions to each book and articles addressing contemporary topics such as social media have been requested by users.
Algeria: fines for Bibles
World Watch Monitor
Large fines were given on 8 March to brothers who were transporting over 50 Bibles in a car for church use as they were accused of proselytism.
The Protestant Church of Algeria (known by its French acronym, EPA) issued a statement denouncing the ‘intimidation’ of the men. The EPA is a federation of 45 Protestant churches, mostly in Algeria’s northern coastal region, officially recognised by the Government in 1974. These fines follow several church closures.
