Saudis Arrest Christians for Proselytizing

The New York Sun reports that Saudi authorities raided a clandestine Christian church in the suburbs of Riyadh eleven days ago and arrested 40 Pakistanis for proselytizing. This came just days before Crown Prince Abdullah visited the United States. It also follows the April 18 press release (noted in an earlier post) by the US Commission on International Religious Freedom urging State Department action against Saudi Arabia because of religious freedom violations.
