CHRISTIANS PERSECUTED

Join ICC as we demand the release of  Pastor Bakhytzhan Kashkumbayev

Dear Jean-Pierre Schweitzer, We at ICC are deeply troubled by the illegal detention and harsh interrogation methods used against Pastor Bakhytzhan Kashkumbayev of Kazakhstan. Since being arrested on May 17 on trumped-up charges, Pastor Kashkumbayev has been severely mistreated at the hands of the Kazakh government. Please join thousands in creating a digital army demanding for the end of evil and brutality perpetrated against the innocent.      You can call the Kazakh Embassy at  202-232-5488  from 9:00 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. (EST)  __________________________________________ Don't know what to say? Use this as a guide:     "Hello, my name is _____ and I am from _____. I am calling on behalf of Pastor Kashkumbayev (Kush-come-by-av). He was wrongly imprisoned in Astana  (Ah-stahn-ah) in May and Soviet era tactics were used when he was sent to a psychiatric ward in Almaty (All-mah-tee) in August. This pastor is innocent and I am asking for his release, as he has done nothing illegal by practicing his faith. I ask that Kazakhstan treat all people of faith, including Christians, with dignity and allow them to practice their religion with freedom, as your constitution promises. I am following this case closely. Thank you."   _______________________________________     We have a petition with over 1,500 signatures calling for his release that will be dropped off at the Kazakhstan Embassy by ICC officials this week. Your phone call could be the ticket to his release. Thank you for raising your voice for our brother in Christ.    Sincerely,  Jeff King, President LEARN MORE
