Algerian Christians banned from worshipping even in a tent, after church building sealed
30 January 2019

Christians in Algeria were forced out of a tent they were worshipping in by police on 28 January after their church building was sealed by authorities.

The tent, set up in the grounds of Azaghar Church, enabled the 300-strong congregation to continue worshipping following the forced closure of their church building for spurious “health and safety” reasons.

The church in the village of Azaghar, around 110 miles south-east of Algiers, lost the use of its building in October 2018, despite the congregation responding to requests to install fire exits and fire extinguishers.
