International Christian Concern (ICC) learned that Said Musa, an Afghan Christian who was arrested in May and scheduled for execution in February for his conversion to Christianity, was released from prison in late February after aggressive international diplomacy. He is now safely out of the country and will be re-united with family. However, Shaoib Assadullah, also an Afghan Christian, is still behind bars for giving a Bible to a man who later reported him to authorities. He faces the same charges of apostasy (leaving Islam) with the death penalty.  

Please pray: give thanks to God for Said Musa’s release from prison; continue to ask for the release of Shaoib Assadullah; for Afghan Christians to not fear death and to remain faithful, and for ultimate religious freedom in Afghanistan.
