Religious Persecution in Uzbekistan
UZBEKISTAN — A small Baptist congregation in Uzbekistan is under fire again from authorities.
The charge is failing to comply with a mandatory registration requirement. The church flock in Khalkabad near Pap in the eastern Namangan Region of Uzbekistan was harassed four years ago for not registering its activities with authorities.
Uzbekistan is in Central Asia, north of Afghanistan.
Local Baptists told Forum 18 News Service that police raided Sunday services on July 29 and August 5.
