London Protests Against Eritrea Persecution

A service was recently held in London to protest against the treatment of the head of the Eritrean Orthodox Church.

Patriarch Antonious, the leader of two million orthodox believers and a high-profile prisoner of conscience, was removed from his position earlier this year after criticising the Eritrean Government for interference in church activities.

Amnesty International says Eritrea displays one of the most extreme forms of religious persecution in the world.
