Christians have been arrested in Algeria

VERBATIM:  The government sent a SWAT team to break up a prayer meeting being held at a humanitarian shelter in the suburbs of Oran.  Twelve believers were arrested at the House of Refuge shelter and charged with holding an unauthorized non-Muslim worship service.  Algeria used to ignore its small Christian minority but in recent years the government has begun an aggressive campaign of persecution, closing scores of churches.  MH REPORTING
