(Forum 18) – On 8 September, the Emmanuel Full Gospel Church in Nukus – the last legal Protestant church in north-western Uzabekistan – failed to overturn the justice ministry’s ban on its activity, a church lawyer said. In early September a local TV station in nearby Khorezm region broadcast a programme “virtually depicting Protestants as criminals”, local Full Gospel pastor Ruzmet Voisov said. The following day unidentified women burst into his home and beat his wife, calling her a traitor to her faith. Uzbekistan bans all unregistered religious activity in defiance of its international human rights commitments.

ICC's support of orphans created from this violent persecution in India is vital for their sustenance physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Thank you so much for supporting these children through our Rescue: Wives and Children Fund. www.persecution.org/give//
Khan is a courageous Christian convert who was forced to flee Afghanistan after the Taliban takeover that practically sentenced all Christians to death.
Despite this abrupt action, Khan hid his faith from his family in this extremely dangerous situation. Refugees in Iraq often do not have enough to live on, so ICC provided Khan and his family with necessities in this time. This is just one of many ways that our Afghanistan Crisis Emergency Fund is used to combat the Taliban persecution.
