Ethiopian Christians to be deported from Saudi Arabia

 

                                       Ethiopia was one of the first Christian countries in the world.

Some 35 Ethiopian Christians face deportation from Saudi Arabia for "illicit mingling", the global rights body Human Rights Watch (HRW) says.

Police arrested the group - including 29 women - after raiding a prayer meeting in the second city of Jeddah.
The women were subjected to strip searches and the men beaten and called "unbelievers", according to HRW.
In 2006, the Saudi government promised to stop interfering with private worship by non-Muslims.
The group was arrested in a private home as they gathered to pray during the run-up to Christmas, celebrated by Ethiopian Orthodox Christians on 7 January.
HRW spoke to a man and two women by telephone from the prisons where they are being held.
They say they have been charged with mixing with unmarried persons of the opposite sex - even though HRW says Saudi Arabia has no law defining "illicit mingling".
Mixing of the sexes is not allowed in public - but normally permitted in private unless for "the purpose of corruption", according to the religious police.
The ultra-conservative Muslim kingdom bans the practice of any religion except Islam - but in recent years pledged to leave people of other faiths alone if they worshipped in private homes.
Ethiopia was one of the first Christian countries in the world, having officially adopted Christianity as the state religion in the 4th Century

MAN DEAD IN NEW MALMO SHOOTING

Malmö was rocked by another fatal shooting on Tuesday night after a man was gunned down in a car and later died at hospital, marking the city's third gun fatality since the start of the year.

 

A call to emergency services about the shooting, which took place on Fosievägen, came in shortly before 7pm.

According to one witness, several shots were fired.

“I heard three bangs and now the place is crawling with police with automatic weapons. I saw them carry a person out to an ambulance and try to resuscitate him,” the witness told the local Sydsvenskan newspaper.

Skåne police spokesperson Calle Persson told the TT news agency that when police arrived on the scene they found a man who had been shot inside a car near Eriksfälts school.

“Sniffer dogs have been sent in and are examining the cordoned off area, but I haven't heard that they've found anything yet.” said Persson.

He added that police believe that the man was shot where he was found.

“That's probably where the crime scene is, or somewhere nearby, based on where witnesses heard the shots,” Persson told TT.

Police have begun a forensic investigation, are interviewing witnesses, and checking vehicles in the area.

Tuesday's shooting is the eighth deadly shooting in Malmö since May 2011.

Most recently, a 48-year-old man was shot dead in the city's Lindängen neighbourhood on Januaray 3rd.

Two days earlier, a 15-year-old boy was shot in Rosengård shortly after the start of the new year.

This past weekend, three people were injured in two separate shootings, with two of the victims requiring surgery.

A man armed with a pistol shot a 19-year-old and 21-year-old in central Malmö on Saturday morning. A 22-year-old was later arrested on suspicion of attempted murder.

And on Sunday morning, a 38-year-old man was shot in Rosengård. No arrests have yet been made in the case.
