Police have raided four worship services at three local Protestant churches in the Shu district of southern Kazakhstan.

The local Baptist Council of Churches says: ‘What happened in Shu has aroused serious concern among evangelical communities, which have experienced persecution for their religious activity.’

And Evangelicals Now has learned that the raids are far more widespread than is currently recognised.
