This week's persecuted church: Algeria

Krimo, 29, was arrested on April 14 and detained for three days in Oran for giving a CD about Christianity to a neighbor.  On May 4, Krimo was given a five year prison sentence for blasphemy based on the neighbor's accusation that he had insulted the Muslim prophet Muhammad.  Having appealed the decision, Krimo waits to be summoned to an appellate court where a final verdict is expected to be handed down.
