Persecution:- Eritrean christian woman dies in prison
The Voice of the Martyrs Canada:-Senait Oqbazgi Habta (28) died on April 23 in the Sawa Military Training Centre in Eritrea after suffering severe abuse and being denied medical treatment for malaria and severe anemia. Senait was arrested in 2008, along with 15 other university students, for attending a Bible study group. She and the other students were imprisoned in large metal shipping containers where they suffered suffocating heat during the day and freezing temperatures at night. They were also deprived of fresh air, sanitation and medical attention. Sawa officials reportedly offered Senait her freedom and medical attention if she would recant her Christian beliefs, but she refused. Camp officials eventually relented and allowed her to be moved to the prison's medical centre. She died shortly after her transfer, however, due to her prolonged illnesses. (Source: Open Doors)
Pray for God's comfort, peace and encouragement for Senait's family and friends. Pray that God will continue to strengthen imprisoned Eritrean Christians by His grace. Pray that their persecutors will be convicted by their testimonies of faithfulness and seek salvation in Christ.

The righteous perish, and no one ponders it in his heart; devout men( women) are taken away, and no one understands that the righteous are taken away to be spared from evil; those who walk uprightly enter into peace, they find rest as they lie in death.
Isaiah 57 : 1-2
Precious in the site of the lord is the death of his saints.Psalm 116:15.
How tragic that this tug is even after Christians to appease his Muslim Arab benefactors. Now Isaiah will have to answer to Christ himself, and not to a man or woman for such a despicable act.Nothing should be expected from a classic vagabond, at any rate. We should pray for Eritreans and in particular for the Christian to be set free from such a low life.
