Christian
leaders in Russia have reportedly begun to be arrested
after the passing of new anti-terrorism laws that ban evangelism outside of
churches.
Sergei
Zhuravlyov, a representative of the Ukrainian Reformed Orthodox Church of
Christ the Savior, was reportedly arrested earlier in August while preaching to
the St. Petersburg Messianic Jewish community. He was charged with violating
the law that bans illegal missionary activity, according to The Christian Post.
He
was accused of "fomenting negative attitudes toward the Russian Orthodox
Church" and of being connected to the Ukrainian nationalist political
party, a party that is banned in Russia.
Zhuravlyov
has been released on bail and his case has been sent to court.
The
new law, which was meant to be an anti-terrorism effort, prohibits the ministry
of faith in any place that is not a house of worship.
"The
new situation resembles the Soviet Union in 1929. At that time confession of
faith was permitted only in church," Hannu Haukka, president of Great
Commission Media Ministries, said in July. "Practically speaking, we are
back in the same situation. These anti-terrorist laws are some of the most
restrictive laws in post-Soviet history."
Violations
of the law carry a fine of $75 to to $765, but organizations who violate could
face fines up to $15,265.

Cameroonian scammer arrested in Montreal (canada
The Sûreté du Québec announced Wednesday the arrest of an alleged fraudster specialist of a scenario called "Black money scam", in which victims are invited to participate in the cleaning of soiled banknotes, then are robbed during the operation. Cyrille Ngogang, 49 years old, was caught red-handed in downtown Montreal Tuesday afternoon. He appeared in court this morning to be charged with fraud and breach of commitment. The man is not in his first trouble with the law: he was previously arrested by the SQ on 19 January for charges related to the same scheme, and had been able to resume its freedom under strict conditions pending his trial. There are several variants of the 'Black money' scenario, but all involve a so-called batch of cash that has been stained with a dye or colouring substance. Scammers ask their victim to provide money to clean the hoard.
