@AJStream (4) often monks feast on this dubious circular and threaten minority places of worship that they are 'illegal'.

[Mike Gabriel @MSGabriel9]

@AJStream (3) ministry which requires registration of places of worship completely violates FORB. lankan law does not require registration

[Mike Gabriel @MSGabriel9]

@AJStream (2) police inaction. the authorities in some instances turn persecutors themselves. for e.g 2008 circular by the religious affairs

[Mike Gabriel @MSGabriel9]

@AJStream - (1) they haven't been doing much. for e.g. 103 incidents of persecution against Christians last year. most instance marked by

[Mike Gabriel @MSGabriel9]

UMC_@UMC_UMCOR Hi. (1) Can church based youth groups involved in relief work submit proposals for grants?

[Mike Gabriel @MSGabriel9]

@Joviarul Though, well, the video was put up a month back...

[Mike Gabriel @MSGabriel9]
