Uzbekistan - Government Officials Seize Bible Shipments - Censor Those Allowed

Link: Forum 18 Search/Archive - UZBEKISTAN: "No need to import Bibles"?

Excerpts:
"Justice Ministry officials told the Bible Society 'there is no need to import Bibles into Uzbekistan since there's an electronic version on the internet.'"



"As seen from the Chilanzar Court decision, the first shipment of books to the Bible Society...are roughly 5,000 Russian Bibles as well as roughly 7,000 books – mostly Children's Bibles – in Uzbek and Karakalpak languages (the figures on the literature in Uzbek and Karakalpak were confirmed by the Religious Affairs Committee)."
