The Justice Department has arrested and charged a former CIA officer with committing espionage on behalf of the People’s Republic of China, according to a statement released Monday afternoon.
Alexander Yuk Ching Ma, a native of Hong Kong, is alleged to have conspired with a relative – who is also a former CIA officer, identified as “co-conspirator #1” in court documents – to “communicate classified information up to the Top Secret level” to PRC intelligence officials. Ma was arrested last Friday, and according to the indictment, unsealed today:
Ma began working for the CIA in 1982, maintained a Top Secret clearance, and signed numerous non-disclosure agreements in which he acknowledged his responsibility and ongoing duty to protect U.S. government secrets during his tenure at CIA. He left the CIA in 1989 and lived and worked in Shanghai, China before arriving in Hawaii in 2001.
Ma and his relative conspired with each other and multiple PRC intelligence officials to communicate classified national defense information over the course of a decade. The scheme began with three days of meetings in Hong Kong in March 2001 during which the two former CIA officers provided information to the foreign intelligence service about the CIA’s personnel, operations, and methods of concealing communications. Part of the meeting was captured on videotape, including a portion where Ma can be seen receiving and counting $50,000 in cash for the secrets they provided.
After Ma moved to Hawaii, he sought employment with the FBI in order to once again gain access to classified U.S. government information which he could in turn provide to his PRC handlers. In 2004, the FBI’s Honolulu Field Office hired him as a contract linguist tasked with reviewing and translating Chinese language documents.
Over the following six years, Ma regularly copied, photographed and stole documents that displayed U.S. classification markings such as “SECRET.” He took some of the stolen documents and images with him on his frequent trips to China with the intent to provide them to his handlers. He often returned from China with thousands of dollars in cash and expensive gifts, such as a new set of golf clubs.
In the spring of 2019, over the course of two in-person meetings, Ma confirmed his espionage activities to an FBI undercover employee he believed was a representative of the PRC intelligence service, and accepted $2,000 in cash from the FBI undercover as “small token” of appreciation for his assistance to China.
Ma also offered to once again work for the PRC intelligence service. On Aug. 12, 2020, during a meeting with an FBI undercover employee before arrest, he again accepted money for his past espionage activities, expressed his willingness to continue to help the Chinese government, and stated that he wanted “the motherland” to succeed.
Ma’s arrest was announced by Assistant Attorney General for National Security John Demers, who said:
“The trail of Chinese espionage is long and, sadly, strewn with former American intelligence officers who betrayed their colleagues, their country and its liberal democratic values to support an authoritarian communist regime. This betrayal is never worth it. Whether immediately, or many years after they thought they got away with it, we will find these traitors and we will bring them to justice. To the Chinese intelligence services, these individuals are expendable. To us, they are sad but urgent reminders of the need to stay vigilant.”
Demers was joined by U.S. Attorney for the District of Hawaii Kenji Price, Assistant Director of the FBI’s Counterintelligence Division Alan Kohler, and Special Agent in Charge of the FBI’s Honolulu Field Office Eli Miranda. Ma made his initial appearance before a federal judge today, and is charged with conspiracy to communicate national defense information to aid a foreign government, which carries a maximum penalty of life imprisonment upon conviction.
Meanwhile, China has unveiled a new 1,000 lb. hybrid missile that effectively works like a cluster bomb. State-run television showed footage of the missile during a recent test, and an on-air military expert explained it is meant to take out Taiwan’s airfields ahead of an invasion of the island.
The “missile,” however, is little more than a guided glide bomb designated as a “dispenser” because it can carry up to 240 submunitions of varying types, depending on the mission requirements. Those submunitions cover an enormous area – the on-air expert said a single missile could effectively take out an entire airfield.
Some of the submunitions could also be mines, which would hamper efforts to quickly repair damage from the original attack. In the meantime, the airfield would be useless to aid in the defense of the island.
Western media reports have been quick to point out that a “dispenser” bomb is just a fancier way of saying “cluster bomb.” Such weapons are banned by the international Convention on Cluster Munitions – but according to the UN, the U.S., China, and Taiwan are not parties to the treaty.

By Cece Hang’andu —
Just when doctors asked her family members if they could take her off life support and let the “lost cause” die, Lisa Martin woke up from a 40-day Covid coma.
“God had other plans,” a Dec. 31 hospital statement says. “On the 11th day, Lisa broke out of the sedatives and began following Jeff with her eyes and she even moved her hand.”
Now Lisa, a 49-year-old mother of four, is being called a “miracle patient.” In all, she spent 59 days on a ventilator at Memorial Satillo Health in Georgia, including the induced Covid coma. She suffered a frontal lobe stroke during the health ordeal.
When Lisa didn’t come out of the coma (her eyes were fixed), hospital staff approached the family October 20th and asked them to make the hardest decision of their lives: take Lisa off life support.
They held a family conference. Her youngest son was the last to speak and said, “We are not pulling that plug. I’m not ready to be without my mama.”
“They decided to give it 11 days before making a decision. That would have been the end of one month on the vent. Earlier in September, Lisa had created a living will with a ‘do not resuscitate.’”
But when the family was pressed for a decision, Lisa woke up. Today, she’s re-learning how to walk, talk, swallow and eat.
Her daughter, Madison, said the road of recovery “has changed our lives for the better.”
“Did it suck for my mom to get COVID, almost die and now fight to get back to having a normal life? Absolutely!” Madison says. “But if God wanted to use my mom as an example on how to keep faith during struggles, dark times and hardships, then I thank God for using my mom.
Lisa also credits God for the miracle. “I am shocked but amongst all the overwhelming feelings, I feel like this is definitely a God thing,” she told People Magazine. “I got to a point where I felt like no one cared for me. I didn’t have a lot of friends, my kids are all grown up and independent and my husband works all the time. I was lonely, but this experience has shown me how loved I truly am.”

MacArthur cautioned Biden on placing his hand on the Bible while pledging “to do the very things that blaspheme His name.”“You can say whatever you want to say,” he began “but when you touch the ark, when you place your hand on the throne of God, because God is enthroned in His Word, and you place your hand on the Word of God and pledge to do the very things that blaspheme His name.” “God doesn't want your respect, He wants your obedience”, MacArthur asserted. “Don’t tell me you advocate for the slaughter of babies in the womb,” he continued. “Don’t tell me you want to destroy masculinity, femininity, marriage. Don’t tell me you want to fill the world with LGBTQ people in leadership, you want to justify transgender activity. Don’t tell me you want to invite more Muslims in who represent a religion from Hell and then put your hand on the throne of God.”
MacArthur, who has been pastoring the Los Angeles based church since 1969, made headlines last year for defying the state’s COVID restrictions on houses of worship that resulted in fines and court hearings.
Over a week ago last Sunday, he addressed how mainstream media outlets like ABC, CNN and the Los Angeles Times along with “ungodly bloggers” attempted to discredit his church, according to reports.
MacArthur addressed the importance of Christ at the heart of the Christian faith as that is the only way Christianity would have any appeal.

There have been information coming into limelight with the way the governments and health institution are hastening up to make available the Covid’19 vaccines. With the United States recently signing a contract worth $1.9 billion with Pfizer pharmaceutical for the Corona Virus vaccines.
Some of the information the press are gathering include medical experts and professionals concerns, which has to do with the composition of the corona virus vaccines. With the way the various governments are going about it to ensure it is compulsorily administered whenever it is available, and also taking a further step of issuing an identification for whomever is vaccinated, and to as well involve the military in dispensing the vaccines.
All this cause for serious concern on what is really behind their agenda. What are they not telling the people? With so much going on behind the scene with inter-government negotiation that does not make the news.
In an Instagram post, Weston A. Price Foundation shared a photo displaying a quote that says the FDA has “acknowledged that residual human DNA has the potential to cause cancer or to change one’s genetic code.” The quote is attributed to Kendall Nelson, producer of the film “The Greater Good,” which explores the pros and cons of vaccination in the U.S.
The Weston A. Price Foundation is a nonprofit charity aimed at spreading information about Dr. Weston Price’s nutrition research, which includes a belief that modern technology should be “a servant to the wise and nurturing traditions of our ancestors rather than used as a force destructive to the environment and human health,” according to its website.
The foundation’s stance on vaccination is that “vaccination as practiced today is a 200-year mistake.” It further claims that childhood diseases are “either mild or non-existent” when parents teach children the nutrition practices for which the foundation advocates.
However, vaccines for chickenpox, rubella and hepatitis A are created using human embryo cells, according to an article from the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. Some vaccines contains Human DNA. The embryo cells are more specifically fibroblast cells, which are needed to hold skin and connective tissues together. The cells were obtained in the early 1960s via the elective termination of two pregnancies. The FDA also said residual DNA is \\\"not used as an active ingredient in vaccines but can be present as a consequence of the methods used to produce some vaccines.\\\" It has strict guidelines for what qualifies cell substrates to be used in vaccines. When asked for comment, the Weston A. Price Foundation sent an FDA technical report for a 2012 meeting of the Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee. It also sent a second link, which included an article published in The Vaccine Reaction, cited the same document and provided a transcript from the meeting.
At that meeting, members of the committee discussed the appropriateness of the use of cell lines derived from human tumors – not human fetal cells, to which the Instagram post refers.
It is important to note, too, that this meeting was a discussion of the matter, and no conclusion was reached.
The concern of some, as indicated in the Weston A. Price Foundation’s claim, is that vaccines that include residual DNA could cause harm if DNA from the embryo cell mixes with the DNA of whoever is receiving the vaccine.
From another source, here is a sentence from an NIAID press release that mentions one of several research approaches:
“NIAID Vaccine Research Center scientists have initiated Phase 1/2 studies of a universal flu vaccine strategy that includes an investigational DNA-based vaccine (called a DNA ‘prime’)…” This is quite troubling, if you know what the phrase “DNA vaccine” means. It refers to what the experts are touting as the next generation of immunizations. Instead of injecting a piece of a virus into a person, in order to stimulate the immune system, synthesized genes would be shot into the body. This isn’t traditional vaccination anymore. It’s gene therapy. In any such method, where genes are edited, deleted, added, no matter what the pros say, there are always “unintended consequences,” to use their polite phrase. The ripple effects scramble the genetic structure in numerous unknown ways.
Here is the inconvenient truth about DNA vaccines—
They will permanently alter your DNA.The reference is the New York Times, 3/15/15, “Protection Without a Vaccine.” It describes the frontier of research—the use of synthetic genes to “protect against disease,” while changing the genetic makeup of humans. This is not science fiction:
“By delivering synthetic genes into the muscles of the [experimental] monkeys, the scientists are essentially re-engineering the animals to resist disease.” “’The sky’s the limit,’ said Michael Farzan, an immunologist at Scripps and lead author of the new study.” “The first human trial based on this strategy — called immunoprophylaxis by gene transfer, or I.G.T. — is underway, and several new ones are planned.” [That was few years ago.] “I.G.T. is altogether different from traditional vaccination. It is instead a form of gene therapy. Scientists isolate the genes that produce powerful antibodies against certain diseases and then synthesize artificial versions. The genes are placed into viruses and injected into human tissue, usually muscle.”
The punchline:
“The viruses invade human cells with their DNA payloads, and the synthetic gene is incorporated into the recipient’s own DNA. If all goes well, the new genes instruct the cells to begin manufacturing powerful antibodies.”
Read that again: “the synthetic gene is incorporated into the recipient’s own DNA.”
Alteration of the human genetic makeup.
Not just a “visit.” Permanent residence. And once a person’s DNA is changed, he will live with that change—and all the ripple effects in his genetic makeup—for the rest of his life.
The Times article taps Dr. David Baltimore for an opinion:
“Still, Dr. Baltimore says that he envisions that some people might be leery of a vaccination strategy that means altering their own DNA, even if it prevents a potentially fatal disease.”
Yes, some people might be leery. If they have two or three working brain cells.
This is genetic roulette with a loaded gun. Anyone and everyone on Earth injected with a DNA vaccine will undergo permanent and unknown genetic changes… And the further implications are clear. Vaccines can be used as a cover for the injections of any and all genes, whose actual purpose is re-engineering humans in far-reaching ways. The emergence of this Frankenstein technology is paralleled by a shrill push to mandate vaccines, across the board, for both children and adults. The pressure and propaganda are planet-wide. The freedom and the right to refuse vaccines has always been vital. It is more vital than ever now. It means the right to preserve your inherent DNA.
There are also information reaching out that the medical staff administering the vaccines will be able to tap the NFC prefilled label tag number on the syringe into a mobile appliance that will capture the dose level serial number GPS location, date and time then upload the data into a government data base. That aggregated injection data provides health administration the exact involving real time injection map for tracking.

A Muslim mother in Obutete village, Agule County in Pallisa District, Uganda, has renounced Islam, after visions of Jesus in a life-changing dream. Mansitula Buliro, 45, was on January 13 preparing for Isha prayers with her husband when she had a vision of Jesus, she said.
“During the process, a certain weakness entered my body, and then I saw a light coming from above, and I heard a loud voice saying, ‘Yeshua’ [Aramaic for Jesus] repeatedly,” she recalls. Not long after that, Mansitula saw another vision.
“At midnight I saw a bright light and a man dressed in white clothes crossing the river coming towards me, and He said: ‘Peace be upon you – today I have chosen you to be mine,’” she said. Speaking to media, Mansitula stated that the recurring visions prompted her to visit her Christian neighbour, whose name is withheld for security reasons.
The neighbor prayed with her, and she put her faith in Christ. This development is the latest of multiple accounts that Uganda Christian News has documented, where men and women who, without knowledge of the Gospel, or contact among Christians in their community, have experienced dreams and visions of Jesus Christ.

A group of Scottish church leaders is pursuing legal action against the Scottish Minsters' decision to close churches and outlaw public worship during the current COVID lockdown.
Church officials notified the Scottish Ministers on Jan. 15, pleading for them to re-open churches. They explained that closing churches violates the European Convention of Human Rights law and the Scottish Constitution.
Additionally, the emotional and spiritual needs within the congregation and community cannot be addressed if these restrictions remain in effect.
The church leaders pointed out in their claim they clearly understand the significance of COVID-19 and the difficult decisions the Scottish Government has had to make in an effort to protect communities.
But the church officials say they believe the Scottish Ministers' have \\\"failed to appreciate that the closure of places of worship is a disproportionate step and one which has serious implications for freedom of religion.\\\"
The Scottish Ministers' replied by denying the claim and asserted that the state can \\\"regulate the secular activities of Churches…for the purposes of protecting public health\\\" and that churches must \\\"comply with secular law\\\" and remain closed.
According to Christian Legal Centre, Scotland hasn't attempted to close churches since the 17th century during the persecution of the Presbyterian church.
Now church officials are asking for houses of worship in Scotland to remain open so people can attend services and events without fear of prosecution.
In the claim, the church leaders \\\"hold that public corporate worship, involving the physical gathering together of Christians…are fundamental and indispensable aspects of their religion,\\\" and that \\\"in the absence of the gathered people of God, there is effectively no church.\\\"
Scottish Ministers' say they are making decisions based on \\\"science\\\" to warrant several lockdown measures, including church closures.
Church leaders in Scotland are pressing ahead with legal action against the Scottish Government after public worship was banned during the current lockdown.
Unlike in England and Wales, where churches can still open, public worship has been suspended in Scotland since 8 January.
Supported by the Christian Legal Centre (CLC), the 27 church leaders argue that the suspension of public worship is \\\"unlawful\\\" and in breach of the European Convention on Human Rights.
They are seeking a judicial review after the Scottish Government ignored a pre-action letter from the church leaders in which they said the restrictions had \\\"serious implications for freedom of religion\\\" and were unnecessarily preventing them from meeting the material, emotional and spiritual needs of their communities.

The Maronite Cathedral of St Elijah almost did not survive the years of conflict after being bombed countless times, but its roof has been rebuilt and it is set to be re-consecrated on Monday.
The reconstruction of the church was supported financially by Aid to the Church in Need (ACN) UK.
The Maronite Archbishop of Aleppo, Joseph Tobji, said the re-construction had \\\"symbolic and practical meaning\\\" for the Christian community in Syria.
\\\"In the symbolic sense, it is a message to the parishioners and Christians in Aleppo and the world that we are still in this country despite our dwindling numbers and the restoration of the cathedral is proof of this,\\\" he said.
The cathedral dates back to 1873 but the site has been a place of Christian worship for much longer than that, with the current building having replaced a smaller 15th century church. Now that it is being re-opened, ACN International Executive President Dr Thomas Heine-Geldern spoke of his hope for the cathedral as a center for Christianity. \\\"We see the cathedral of St Elijah and it is a miracle. It is wonderful to see it shining with its former splendour,\\\" he said.\\\"I hope that it will once again become the center for the whole Christian community just as it was before this terrible war.\\\"
Years of war have taken their toll on Christians in Aleppo, with numbers falling from 180,000 before 2012 to around only 30,000 today. Archbishop Tobji said he hoped the cathedral's restoration would encourage Christians to believe they have a future in the city. He said: \\\"We Maronites have no place to bring us together other than this cathedral and the decision to restore it was self-evident, just like a family who wanted to renovate our only house that brought us together.\\\"

My post contentAn Army chaplain is under investigation after criticizing the new Biden administration policy on transgender personnel and saying in a social media post they are “rejecting reality” and are “mentally unfit.” Maj. Andrew Calvert, an Army chaplain with Fort Hood's 3rd Security Force Assistance Brigade, posted the comments on the Army Times Facebook page underneath a story about the new Biden policy.
President Biden signed an executive order Monday allowing individuals to serve openly under their gender identity. A biological man who identifies as a woman, for example, can serve alongside women under the new policy. The executive order said “gender identity should not be a bar to military service.”
The executive order reversed the Trump-era policy limiting the service of transgender individuals.
Calvert wrote, “How is rejecting reality (biology) not evidence that a person is mentally unfit (ill), and thus making that person unqualified to serve? There is little difference in this than over those who believe and argue for a ‘flat earth,’ despite the overwhelming evidence to the contrary. The motivation is different, but the argument is the same. This person is a MedBoard for Mental Wellness waiting to happen. What a waste of military resources and funding!”
The Army's Security Force Assistance Command said in Twitter and Facebook posts Calvert’s comments were under investigation. Calvert declined to comment in an Army Times story about the matter.

displaying a quote that says the FDA has “acknowledged that residual human DNA has the potential to cause cancer or to change one’s genetic code.” The quote is attributed to Kendall Nelson, producer of the film “The Greater Good,” which explores the pros and cons of vaccination in the U.S.
The Weston A. Price Foundation is a nonprofit charity aimed at spreading information about Dr. Weston Price’s nutrition research, which includes a belief that modern technology should be “a servant to the wise and nurturing traditions of our ancestors rather than used as a force destructive to the environment and human health,” according to its website.
The foundation’s stance on vaccination is that “vaccination as practiced today is a 200-year mistake.” It further claims that childhood diseases are “either mild or non-existent” when parents teach children the nutrition practices for which the foundation advocates.
However, vaccines for chickenpox, rubella and hepatitis A are created using human embryo cells, according to an article from the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. Some vaccines contains Human DNA. The embryo cells are more specifically fibroblast cells, which are needed to hold skin and connective tissues together. The cells were obtained in the early 1960s via the elective termination of two pregnancies.
The FDA also said residual DNA is \\\"not used as an active ingredient in vaccines but can be present as a consequence of the methods used to produce some vaccines.\\\" It has strict guidelines for what qualifies cell substrates to be used in vaccines.
When asked for comment, the Weston A. Price Foundation sent an FDA technical report for a 2012 meeting of the Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee. It also sent a second link, which included an article published in The Vaccine Reaction, cited the same document and provided a transcript from the meeting.
At that meeting, members of the committee discussed the appropriateness of the use of cell lines derived from human tumors – not human fetal cells, to which the Instagram post refers.
It is important to note, too, that this meeting was a discussion of the matter, and no conclusion was reached.
The concern of some, as indicated in the Weston A. Price Foundation’s claim, is that vaccines that include residual DNA could cause harm if DNA from the embryo cell mixes with the DNA of whoever is receiving the vaccine.
From another source, here is a sentence from an NIAID press release that mentions one of several research approaches:
“NIAID Vaccine Research Center scientists have initiated Phase 1/2 studies of a universal flu vaccine strategy that includes an investigational DNA-based vaccine (called a DNA ‘prime’)…”
This is quite troubling, if you know what the phrase “DNA vaccine” means. It refers to what the experts are touting as the next generation of immunizations.
Instead of injecting a piece of a virus into a person, in order to stimulate the immune system, synthesized genes would be shot into the body. This isn’t traditional vaccination anymore. It’s gene therapy.
In any such method, where genes are edited, deleted, added, no matter what the pros say, there are always “unintended consequences,” to use their polite phrase. The ripple effects scramble the genetic structure in numerous unknown ways.
Here is the inconvenient truth about DNA vaccines— They will permanently alter your DNA.
The reference is the New York Times, 3/15/15, “Protection Without a Vaccine.” It describes the frontier of research—the use of synthetic genes to “protect against disease,” while changing the genetic makeup of humans. This is not science fiction:
“By delivering synthetic genes into the muscles of the [experimental] monkeys, the scientists are essentially re-engineering the animals to resist disease.” “’The sky’s the limit,’ said Michael Farzan, an immunologist at Scripps and lead author of the new study.” “The first human trial based on this strategy — called immunoprophylaxis by gene transfer, or I.G.T. — is underway, and several new ones are planned.” [That was few years ago.] “I.G.T. is altogether different from traditional vaccination. It is instead a form of gene therapy. Scientists isolate the genes that produce powerful antibodies against certain diseases and then synthesize artificial versions. The genes are placed into viruses and injected into human tissue, usually muscle.”
The punchline:
“The viruses invade human cells with their DNA payloads, and the synthetic gene is incorporated into the recipient’s own DNA. If all goes well, the new genes instruct the cells to begin manufacturing powerful antibodies.”
Read that again: “the synthetic gene is incorporated into the recipient’s own DNA.”
Alteration of the human genetic makeup. Not just a “visit.” Permanent residence. And once a person’s DNA is changed, he will live with that change—and all the ripple effects in his genetic makeup—for the rest of his life.
The Times article taps Dr. David Baltimore for an opinion: “Still, Dr. Baltimore says that he envisions that some people might be leery of a vaccination strategy that means altering their own DNA, even if it prevents a potentially fatal disease.” Yes, some people might be leery. If they have two or three working brain cells. This is genetic roulette with a loaded gun. Anyone and everyone on Earth injected with a DNA vaccine will undergo permanent and unknown genetic changes… And the further implications are clear. Vaccines can be used as a cover for the injections of any and all genes, whose actual purpose is re-engineering humans in far-reaching ways.
The emergence of this Frankenstein technology is paralleled by a shrill push to mandate vaccines, across the board, for both children and adults. The pressure and propaganda are planet-wide.
The freedom and the right to refuse vaccines has always been vital. It is more vital than ever now.
It means the right to preserve your inherent DNA.
There are also information reaching out that the medical staff administering the vaccines will be able to tap the NFC prefilled label tag number on the syringe into a mobile appliance that will capture the dose level serial number GPS location, date and time then upload the data into a government data base. That aggregated injection data provides health administration the exact involving real time injection map for tracking.

A court in Somaliland on Wednesday extended the detention of four Christians for evangelism in the self-declared republic, which is mainly Muslim.
Police also hold an infant of a Christian couple among those in custody, said advocacy group Middle East Concern (MEC).
The troubles began January 21 when police in Hargeisa, the capital, arrested Mohamed and Hamdi and their newborn baby.
That same day an Ethiopian woman, Aster, was taken into custody, added MEC, which closely followed the cases. Soon after, police searched Mohammed and Hamdi’s house had detained another person, according to Christians familiar with the situation.
“Besides confiscating material belonging to the couple, they arrested Hamdi A, a woman living with Mohamed and Hamdi. All four, and the baby, remain in police custody.”
More details or names were not revealed amid security concerns.
CHRISTIANS IN COURT
MEC said that during Wednesday’s court appearance, the four Christians were told that the detention is needed as “the investigation period is being extended.”
The law allows “the prosecutor up to 45 days from the day of arrest to finish his investigation and file charges,” MEC added. On January 25, a judge reportedly informed them they “are suspected of spreading Christianity.”
MEC said the defendants’ lawyer first said his clients were “all in good health and being treated well on an initial visit.”
But since then, he has been denied access, “despite a verbal complaint and assurances from the public prosecutor’s office,” MEC said.
The case underscored broader concerns about devoted minority Christians in the country. Last year another married Christian couple was detained for evangelizing in Muslim-majority Somaliland. There were released after some six weeks in custody, well-informed sources told Worthy News at the time. They were later deported to Somalia.
APPEALING FOR PRAYERS
MEC said that Somali Christians appealed for prayers for the detainees that they “will experience God’s closeness and strength – and be released soon.”
In remarks distributed by MEC, local Christians asked prayers for the “Christian community who are feeling vulnerable, with these arrests coming after similar events last year.”
They urged supporters to pray for “wisdom for the Somali church leadership in how to respond.”
MEC quoted Christians as saying that they also wanted prayers for “strength, wisdom, and boldness for the lawyer and that he will be allowed to visit his clients.”
The charges related to evangelism could make their case complicated, Christians suggest. Islam is the official religion of Somaliland, and its constitution prohibits Muslims from converting to another faith.
FORCES CHURCH CLOSURE
It bars the “propagation of any religion other than Islam” such as evangelism and says all laws must comply with the general principles of “sharia” or Islamic law.
In August 2017, the only remaining (Catholic) church in Somaliland was already closed by authorities a few days after it opened temporarily following Muslim protests.
Somaliland broke away from Somalia after the overthrow of Somali military dictator Siad Barre in 1991 in a conflict that killed tens of thousands of people.
However, anti-Christian policies continue under President Muse Bihi Abdi, who has ruled the breakaway, semi-desert territory on the coast of the Gulf of Aden since November 2017.
Those turning to Christ in Somalia and its breakaway Somaliland also face attacks from Islamic militants including from the influential Islamic group al-Shabaab. There are hundreds of devoted believers in the region, according to Christian aid workers

Facebook suspended Gagnon's account for what it deemed as “incitement” to violence.
In his post, Gagnon said the executive order will endanger women, and noted that those who promote transgenderism are allowing males to invade women’s athletics and shelters. He also likened transgender ideology to a “religious cult” and said it “is indeed a pseudo-science,” in that it forces people to reject basic biology. That Facebook suspended his friend for similar comments proves the cult-like dimension, he said. Facebook subsequently sent Gagnon a notice, informing him that his words violated their “Community Standards on violence and incitement.”
Facebook subsequently sent Gagnon a notice, informing him that his words violated their “Community Standards on violence and incitement.” “There was

A clampdown on Christianity in Morocco has led to the repeat arrests of Christians, Aid to the Church in Need reports.
Jawad Elhamidy, president of the Moroccan Association of Rights and Religious Liberties, told Catholic charity Aid to the Church in Need (ACN) that converts to the faith were being arrested up to three times a week.
During police interrogations, they report experiencing harassment and coming under pressure to abandon their Christian faith. When they refuse, they face abuse.
In some cases, police have also threatened their spouses and children with arrest, Elhamidy said.
Christians accused of blasphemy report being subjected to violence and held by police for several days.
Morocco only recognizes two faiths - Islam and Judaism. Foreign Christians living in the country can freely worship according to their faith, but not indigenous Moroccans.
\\\"The penal code holds that all Moroccans are Muslims, so those who convert to Christianity face legal problems, beside threats to their security,\\\" Elhamidy said. He told of one Muslim convert to Christianity in Al Hajeb city, who was threatened with death by his employer. When he complained to the police, they told him not to speak about his conversion.
Then six months later, after an argument with his employer, he was arrested and sentenced to six months in prison.
Indigenous Christians form a tiny minority in Morocco, accounting for only around 8,000 out of the country's total population of 34.6 million.
Converts to Christianity often have to worship in secret house churches to avoid harassment and state sanctions, Elhamidy said. Even foreign pastors are reluctant to permit Moroccans into their churches for fear of being charged by the police with proselytism, he continued. \\\"If a Moroccan enters a church, one of two things can happen – either a policeman sitting in front of the church arrests him or her, or the cleric in charge of the church asks the person to leave, unless the purpose is tourism,\\\" he said.

Chinese authorities visited Christian homes in Linfen in the northern province of Shanxi in April and told residents who were on welfare benefits that they had to take down all crosses, and replace any displays of Jesus with portraits of Chairman Mao and President Xi Jinping, according to religious freedom magazine, Bitter Winter.
Any Christians who refused to comply with the demand had their welfare subsidies annulled.
One local pastor reported to Bitte Winter: \\\"All impoverished households in the town were told to display Mao Zedong images. The government is trying to eliminate our belief and wants to become God instead of Jesus.\\\"
In one village, a Christian from the state-sponsored Three-Self Church reported how authorities forcefully eliminated all Christian imagery including any images of Jesus in his home. Officials replaced the images with a portrait of Mao Zedong.
The officials told the Christian: \\\"Impoverished religious households can't receive money from the state for nothing — they must obey the Communist Party for the money they receive.\\\"
In another incident in May, authorities entered the home of a Christian in the eastern province of Shandong. There they posted up portraits of Mao Zedong and Xi Jinping and said, \\\"These are the greatest gods. If you want to worship somebody, they are the ones.\\\"
In Henan's Shangqiu city, officials visited the home of an elderly Christian woman and cancelled her minimum living allowance because they discovered an image of a cross posted on her door.
The elderly Christian reported: \\\"They tore it down immediately. Afterward, both my minimum living allowance and poverty alleviation subsidy were canceled. I am being driven to a dead end. I have diabetes and need injections regularly.\\\"
In June, authorities in Henan province arrested one Christian man, and two other Christian women were injured when officials raided Sunzhuang Church. They demolished the church using cranes and other heavy duty machinery.
