[The Christian Post] 15 Aug 2008--Several high school students in Eritrea were locked up earlier this month in metal shipping containers as punishment for protesting the burning of hundreds of Bibles.
The students had objected when military authorities at Sawa Defense Training Center near Eritrea’s border with Sudan began burning more than 1,500 Bibles that were confiscated from new students enrolled in the upcoming academic year on Aug. 5, a source told the persecution watchdog agency Compass Direct News.
Authorities told the male students that the military training school they were at is a place of patriotism and not of “Pentes” (Pentecostals).
Eritrea requires students to enroll in military training centers in order to graduate from high school.
