Baku: A Christian's home was raided in Agdash,
Azerbaijan on March 25, 2009 by the local official of
the State Committee for Work with Religious
Organizations, police officers and two cameramen,
according reports.
Twelve children were gathered at Vera Zhuchaeva's home,
with their parents' permission, to listen to Bible
stories when authorities entered. They forced the
children into one room, questioned them, and recorded
their names. The children were then released to their
parents. Police also confiscated 508 books and 40 films
from the house.
Three believers who were visiting from the capital city
of Baku were taken to a police station and questioned
for four hours. When they went to the station the next
day to pick up their identification documents, they were
fined for "illegally spreading Christianity and other
faiths.”
