According to the report, Christians and other religious minorities have been detained without due process, denied access to Scripture and Christian symbols, and, in some cases, forced to participate in Islamic religious practices while behind bars.
According to The Jerusalem Post, the allegations come from a report by Christian Solidarity International (CSI) that was presented to the U.N. Human Rights Council.
The organization also alleges that families have been pressured to pay money in exchange for the release of loved ones.
Female relatives were reportedly required to wear a hijab and abaya before entering the prison, and Khalil was allegedly compelled to fast during Ramadan despite being a Christian, according to the organization’s report.
The report is a reminder that while many Christians freely open God’s Word each day, others are being denied even the opportunity to hold a Bible.
