From Christian Today-Six Christians were jailed in Sudan last week for refusing to hand over church property to the government, persecution charity Open Doors reports.
The three pastors and three church members were arrested and briefly detained on 6 October in the town of Wad Medani when they refused to hand over a school run by their evangelical church.
"While in custody, they were questioned by police over the reasons for disobeying the orders. They were released on bail later the same day. It is not clear if further legal action is planned," a source told Open Doors.
Five other churches – three belonging to the Sudan Church of Christ, one to the Presbyterian Church and the other to the Episcopal Church – have been told their buildings will be demolished.
Open Doors' source said officials told churches "their land had been assigned for investment".
