Key takeaway Family members have managed to contact one of the imprisoned, a pastor who had previously been incarcerated.
A significant number of Christians are being held in jail. Family members have managed to contact one of the imprisoned, a pastor who had previously been incarcerated. His health initially suffered, but has since improved.
A request has been made for prayer, specifically that those arrested remain faithful and have a positive influence on their captors and fellow prisoners. Prayer is also sought for their families and release. Further details about the situation are available from the Voice of the Martyrs, including the story of the pastor who was featured in their magazine.
