Saudis Release 7 Jailed Protestants

Saudi Arabia today released 7 Protestants (foreign workers from India) who had earlier been arrested for conducting prayer services in a private home. Most of the arrests took place on May 28, but one of the released religionists had been held since March. Daijiworld reports today that the jailed Christians signed a renunciation of religious practice as a condition of their release. Four of the individuals have been sent back to India.
