Sudan deports South Sudanese pastor for evangelistic activities

KHARTOUM (23 Jan.)

Sudanese authorities ordered a South Sudanese pastor to leave the country last month for carrying out church activities, sources said.

Sudan’s National Intelligence and Security Services (NISS) on 6 December ordered pastor Koat Akot of the Sudan Pentecostal Church to leave within 72 hours after an official told him he was not wanted in the country because of his evangelistic and church activities, Sudanese media reported.

The security agents asked Koat to report to their offices daily for three weeks after detaining and questioning him for a day.

Reportedly, the deported church leader established three congregations in Khartoum.
