27 men held in Saudi over 'church' at home

 Saudi police arrested 27 Indian workers on charges of turning a room at their company’s living quarters into a church, a newspaper reported on Sunday.

 

Members of the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice, Saudi Arabia’s most influential law enforcement authority, raided the house in the northern town of Khafji and rounded up its dwellers.

 

A Commission official, quoted by Sada newspaper, said “distorted” copies of the bible, music instruments and other items were found at the house.
