Urgent call to prayer for Christians in Uzbekistan - A group of believers in Samarkand was arrested at a meeting in one of their houses yesterday, 3 April. The police confiscated all books, note-books and a laptop which they found in the house. The Christians present were severely beaten and then all were released except one named Bobur.
