Kazakstan förbjuder lovsång på läger - Worship banned

Lördag kväll och sabbaten gick in, men i Kazakhstan får man inte sjunga lovsånger.  ("Lovsjung Gud, lovsjung! Lovsjung vår konung, lovsjung!" Ps. 47:7) "Sing praises to God, sing praises! Sing praises to our King, sing praises!" (Ps. 47.6 ESV)

"New Life Protestant Church in Oskemen (Ust-Kamenogorsk) is appealing to East Kazakhstan Regional Court against a lower court decision fining the church and ordering it banned for three months, church members told Forum 18 from the city on 6 September. No date has yet been set for the appeal to be heard.

The lower court decision fining and banning the Church enters into force only once any appeal has been heard.

Trouble began for the Church on 28 July, when church members, relatives and friends were at the Zorka holiday camp by a reservoir in Zyryanovsk District south-east of Oskemen. That evening, a resident called the police to complain that she had heard religious songs from the group. A group of four officers from the Anti-Extremism Police arrived at the camp to investigate.

Church member Yelena Tretyakova told Radio Free Europe's Kazakh Service on 17 August that the camp administrator had told her that the police were already present at least 15 minutes before the resident called them to complain."
