The Christian Post: “Seven months after being kicked out of Morocco, more than a dozen Christian parents have still been unable to see their foster children. And the chances that they’ll ever be reunited with them seem very slim . . . They claim that the Village of Hope was legally registered and thus mass deportations of its workers violated the protections afforded to associations under the North African country’s administrative law, [Roger Kiska], an attorney with the Alliance Defense Fund, explained.” For background, see this related ADF Alliance Alert post: ADF confirms yesterday’s WSJ article on the Village of Hope deportations in Morocco

ADF Attorney Roger Kiska writing at The Christian Post: “The Wall Street Journal reported on July 6, following Congressional hearings on the subject of the mass deportation of Christian volunteers in Morocco, on the continuing and tragic situation of the Village of Hope orphanage deportees: http://www.online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704911704575327310647304110.html?mod=rss_opinion_main. The Alliance Defense Fund, representing the Village of Hope internationally in the matter of the deportations, affirms the Wall Street Journal’s story that no evidence whatsoever was presented to substantiate the claim that the orphanage workers were guilty of criminal proselytism.”

OneNewsNow: “The recent mass deportation of Christians from Morocco is getting the attention of lawmakers in Washington, DC. … Roger Kiska with the Alliance Defense Fund attended the hearing and points out that many people are now watching the situation. ‘There are a lot of governments involved: the Dutch government, the U.K., the European Union, the American government is involved,’ he lists. ‘TIME magazine, Christianity Today, the BBC [British Broadcasting Corporation] — you name the international media outlet or the election government and they are watching this carefully, because this sets a dangerous precedent.’”

Worthy News: “A Christian is serving 15 years in a Moroccan jail for evangelism, a Christian rights groups said, while American Christian leaders praised Morocco Thursday, June 17, for its “long history of friendship and religious cooperation.” . . . ‘Christians shouldn’t be targeted for deportation simply because of their beliefs,’ said Kiska, who was scheduled to appear before the Human Rights Commission Thursday, June 18. ‘None of the preconditions for lawful deportation under Moroccan law was met by the government officials in this case. ‘It is vital that no precedent be set that will lead to more human rights violations of this sort, where Christian volunteers can be mass expelled simply because they are Christian,’ he said.”
