KYRGYZSTAN: Freed, fined, to be deported

66-year-old Pastor Pavel Shreider of the now-banned True and Free Reform Seventh-day Adventist Church is awaiting deportation at his own expense. He was freed from prison on 25 March after the Supreme Court changed his jail term to a fine of 3 months' average wage. Officials have seized his passports. "He has no alternative but to pay the fine," an individual told Forum 18. Muslim prisoner of conscience Asadullo Madraimov was freed from prison on 25 March after completing his sentence for criticising the closure of his mosque.

Israeli police obstructed Cardinal Pizzaballa, head of the Catholic Church, from entering the Church of the Holy Sepulchre for the Easter Sunday service. This marks the first instance in centuries that church leaders have been barred from this ceremony. #ReligiousFreedom #MiddleEast
