[3] Presbyterian Pastors Imprisoned in Sudan Set Free

Two Presbyterians pastors imprisoned for their faith in the Republic of Sudan for nearly eight months have been released.

Presbyterian Church (PCUSA)’s office of World Mission received a communication earlier on 5 August 2015 from the Rev. Philip Akway Obang, general secretary of the South Sudan Presbyterian Evangelical Church (SSPEC), confirming the release of the Rev. Yat Michael and the Rev. Peter Yen Reith of the SSPEC.

Michael was detained by Sudan’s National Intelligence and Security Service (NISS) on 14 December 2014, at the end of a service at Bahri Evangelical Church in Khartoum. On 11 January 2015, Reith was detained by the NISS after attending a prayer meeting in Khartoum. On 4 May 2015, a range of charges were filed against the pastors, some that could have resulted in life in prison or the death penalty if they had been convicted.
