For several months, our church has been upholding in prayer four men in Sudan wrongly charged with serious
crimes because they raised money for the medical treatment of a badly burned
student protester. Thank God for the release of one pastor, but the three men
remaining have been given harsh sentences.
Below is an extract from the
website of CSW.
On
29 January, Judge Osama Ahmed Abdulla found Czech national Mr JaĊĦek guilty of
espionage and sentenced him to life
imprisonment. Reverend Abduraheem and Mr Abdumawla were found guilty of
espionage and abatement and sentenced to ten years imprisonment.
……
…….Lawyers representing the men,
intend to appeal the verdict and sentences. In the meantime, the men remain in
Al-Huda prison in Omdurman.
For more detail see www.csw.org.uk
Please pray that the appeal can
be heard soon, and for an annulment of the verdict, and that the Lord protects
and comforts these men in prison and their families at this difficult time.
Cheers, Peter!
