PROMINENT PASTOR DISAPPEARS IN ASMARA
Eritrean ambassador labels evangelicals ‘terrorists.’

March 22 (Compass) -- A leading evangelical pastor disappeared off the streets of Asmara four days ago, presumably detained by Eritrean security forces and jailed at some unknown location.

Kidane Weldou, a senior pastor of the Full Gospel Church in Asmara, was stopped and apparently taken into custody by Eritrean security forces at mid morning on Friday, March 18. His vehicle was left abandoned near the Cinema Roma off Sematat Avenue in the heart of the Eritrean capital.

According to Release Eritrea, a London-based partnership advocating for the persecuted Eritrean church, Weldou was driving a church-owned pickup truck at the time of his disappearance.

For the past four days, Weldou’s family and church members have been unable to learn anything about the pastor’s whereabouts or the charges under which he is being held.
