Christian Family in Kyrgyzstan Blocked from Village Cemetery by Muslim Leaders
KYRGYZSTAN: Complaining to local authorities about burial violations is "useless"
Village cemeteries in Kyrgyzstan technically belong to the civil authorities, rather than any religious community. Local imams, however, can use their social power and influence to entirely block Christians from such cemeteries, refusing to allow burials or even demanding that Christians become Muslims before their loved ones can be laid to rest. Following the death of a Christian woman, her family was “categorically refused” a place to bury her by local and even regional Muslim leaders. Government officials never intervened; some insisted later that Kyrgyzstan treats its citizens equally, while others supported the right of the imams to act as they did.

High Cost of Christian Faith in Laos
ICC Note: Lao Christians may understand this Bible verse well: “In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.” 2 Timothy 3:12.
Christianity is regarded as a threat in Laos by both the Communist government and local people who follow traditional religions. Church is growing in such a difficult situation, but only 3.4 percent of Laotians are Christians and the cost of faith can be high. According to the article, persecution is most intensive in the fertile highlands of Savannakhet Province.

Obama Remains Silent as American’s Wife Remains on Death Row for Christian Faith
ICC Note: As Meriam Yahia Ibrahim, a 27-year-old mother of two and wife to an American citizen, continues to languish on Sudan's death row, the Obama administration continues to remain silent on its efforts to see to her release. Though the White House and State Department have released statements on the case condemning Sudan's actions as institutions, neither President Obama nor Secretary of State Kerry have verbalized their concerns for Meriam nor promised their support in ensuring her immediate and unconditional release.
