Funeral of China’s Underground Catholic Leader Draws 5,000
ICC Note: On Saturday, in Shanghai, an incredible event took place. 5,000 Christians gathered to mourn the death of Bishop Joseph Fan Zhongliang, the leader of China's underground Catholic church who spent two decades imprisoned for his faith. That authorities even allowed the funeral to take place is something of a small miracle, though they did insist that the funeral not be held at a church, and clergy ordained by the Chinese government's Catholic Patriotic Association were told to stay far away. Many, to their credit, attended anyway.
USA: Atheists Demand Christian Governor Delete Biblical Tweet
ICC Note: In the ongoing battle over the spiritual culture of the United States, atheists have stepped up attacks on public speakers, recently calling for Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker to delete a religious tweet. Governor Walker tweeted Philippians 4:13, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." The Freedom From Religion Foundation, who issued the demand the tweet be removed, said the verse sounds "more like a threat, or the utterance of a theocratic dictator, than a duly elected servant." Who knew that tweeting scripture could be so controversial for a public official?
Churches Under Fire in Russian Takeover of Crimea
ICC Note: The hostile takeover of the Ukrainian Crimea by Russia is having religious repercussions. Catholic leaders, long repressed under the Soviet Union, have been ordered by pro-Russian forces to abandon their congregations in Crimea and flee to mainland Ukraine. The Ukrainian Greek Catholic church has refused, saying their clergy will remain with the sheep. At least three priests have been detained and released by Russian forces. ICC will continue to follow the situation as it develops.

Time For Obama To Speak Out For Religious Freedom in Saudi Arabia

Death Toll Rises To 150 in Attack on Nigerian Christians, Including Pastor’s Wife And Three Children
ICC Note: Following a brutal string of attacks a week ago, more than 150 have been killed and thousands more displaced.

The Nigerian government has come under strong criticism for their ability to protect citizens from attacks such as these, and those carried out by the Boko Haram terrorist group in the north of Nigeria.
Religious Freedom in Kazakhstan is a Farce
KAZAKHSTAN: Religious freedom survey, March 2014
