    A church in the town of Boudjima of northern Algeria was closed by authorities on May 22nd, along with its associated Bible school. According to Pastor Youssef Ourahmane, the church had applied for a permit but, as usual, there had been no response.

    On the day of the closure, Pastor Youssef was summoned to the church where he was informed by the gendarmes that the governor had ordered for it to be sealed. The officers at the scene apologized for what they were doing, saying, "We are only the executors."
