© Afreepress (Lomé, the 29 th oct. 2012)- The event raises awareness about the imprisonment of Pastor Antonio dos Anjos Monteiro and church member Bruno Amah, imprisoned on false charges since March 2012.
Adventist lawyers and human rights activists have called for both men’s release since they were detained eight months ago for conspiracy to commit murder. A Togolese man implicated Monteiro and Amah as conspirators in an alleged blood trafficking network, but a police search of Monteiro’s home and local church headquarters did not produce evidence. Since then, local authorities have recognized both men’s innocence, but will not release the men from prison.
On December 1, we invite all Adventists to join in a day of fasting and prayer for the safety of these men and their families and for their soon release from prison.
