Title: Further restrictions imposed in Kazakhstan's draft religion law Post by: nChrist on December 03, 2008, 12:36:55 AM Further restrictions imposed in Kazakhstan's draft religion law
by Staff December 2, 2008 (christiansunite.com) - Kazakhstan's draft religion law was amended with further restrictions on November 7, according to a November 18 report from Forum 18. The amendments to the law include mandating a fixed fine of 50 times the minimum monthly salary for those found guilty of worshipping, building or opening places of worship, or publishing or distributing religious literature without government permission. The proposed amendment would also require both parents to give permission before a child can attend a religious event and would ban believers from expressing their faith beyond their "own circle." Pray that this law will not be approved. Ask God to work in the hearts of Kazakhstan's leaders so that they too will know the Good News.
