From the World Evangelical Alliance Liberty Prayer News: ‘Compass Direct News Service reports that since 11th April, 2010, The Gereja Kristen Indonesia (GKI) Taman Yasmin Church in Bogor, West Java, Indonesia, has held services on the roadside in front of the sealed church in stifling heat, after the mayor of Bogor had sealed the church building.

‘The church had received an official building permit from the Bogor City government, but because a Muslim group that objected to the presence of a church, its construction was stopped and later sealed. The church brought a lawsuit against the sealing of the church premises and in spite that it won the court case, permission has not been granted to use the building for worship.

‘The church has filed a religious discrimination appeal with the United Nations Special Rapporteur on freedom of religion or belief.'
