A local missionary's trial is ongoing in a foreign court. The case involves immigration-related charges that could result in a lengthy prison sentence. Originally, a decision was expected by a certain summer date, but the court's schedule has been adjusted.

The missionary was taken into custody earlier this year, just before a planned return to their home country. Further details about the case are available from a persecution watchdog group. The trial is set to continue with additional court dates planned for later this month and possibly beyond, depending on the court's schedule.
