Supporters pray for the release of the head of the Eritrean Orthodox Church

Story here

From the article:

Patriarch Abune Antonios, head of the Eritrean Orthodox Church, is the rightful leader of the east African country's largest religious community.

The Eritrean authorities removed him from his position in January 2006 for failing to comply with a government order to excommunicate 3,000 parishioners who had opposed the government. Antonios had also called for the release of political prisoners.
