Christians in Africa imprisoned for more than 6,000 days without judicial assistance
In the Eritrean population, in Africa, there are about 600 Christians in prison who do not receive the necessary help to get out.
None of them have been formally charged with a crime or have been tried or even have a lawyer.
According to Faithwire’s report, there are imprisoned Christians for more than 6,000 days without adequate judicial assistance and with no one to volunteer to do so. They simply “disappear from the prison system.”
Todd Neddleton of The Voice of Martyrs says this case is not given the coverage it needs as in other countries that persecute Christianity.
Neddleton also reported that only two prisoners managed to get out and hide in their homes for fear of being imprisoned again.
“We received news that two prisoners were recently released. They were allowed to leave and go home,” he said.
In Faithwire’s study, it is detailed that there are those who send letters of encouragement to the prisoners with no guarantee that they will reach them.
However, the guards who receive some feel the pressure to make this case known to the world and then there can be the justice that the prisoners so long for.
As God’s people, do not fail to sow a prayer for those who are persecuted in the world because of their faith in Jesus Christ.
