Taliban Close Office of U.S. Group
An item for your believers persecuted files, the rulers of much of the country of Afghanistan (if you can call it a country anymore) have closed the office of a U.S. based relief organization and arrested its employees. The charge - propagating Christianity. The Wisconsin based organization has provided food and supplies to impoverished Afghanis for years. Not only have the employees of the organization, Shelter Now, been arrested, those Muslims they came into contact with have also been arrested and sent to religious re-education camps. According to the AP, 24 Shelter Now employees and 64 Afghanis have been arrested and charged with propagating Christianity, a crime punishable by death.
