More than 2,000 people
have signed a petition
demanding
the release
of a Protestant pastor
imprisoned
without
trial
in
Cuba.
The

calls
for
the
release of Pastor Rosales Fajardo, who
has been detained without trial for over
two months for participating in peaceful
protests against the ongoing shortages of
medicine and food resulting from Covid-19.
Fajardo, who has been pastor of
the
Monte de Sion church for 20 years, faces
charges
including
‘disrespect’ and
‘public
disorder’. If found guilty he could be jailed
for between three and 20 years.
China: pastors told to
behave on National Day
Christian Today
Christian ministers
in China
received
strict warnings
from Communist party
representatives to keep a low profile during
celebrations for the National Day of the
People’s Republic of China.
Some pastors were warned to
‘behave’,
‘be quiet’ and
‘be
invisible
in the public
domain’. If the churches did not behave,
their church meetings would run the risk
of being stopped. There were also reports
of authorities making regular calls to house
church pastors to reiterate their ‘boundaries’.
