A lawsuit was filed against St. Jacob’s Church Nisibis Priest Sefer (Aho) Bileçen, who was arrested on January 10 and was released four days later after his lawyer’s objection, with the allegation of ‘illegal organisation membership’. The indictment of the case involved a gendarmerie summary prepared in 2018, stating that “illegal organisation members entered the church,” as well as a statement by a confessor against the Assyrian Priest. The Priest didn’t deny the allegations that he served food for the illegal organisation members arriving at the church in 2018, whereas stated that he did that not in order to “aid the organisation” but did it in accordance with his faith. The first hearing of the case will be held at Mardin 4th Assize Court on March 19.
