Stan Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Seventh-day Adventists fined in Uzbekistan Tashkent, April 15, Interfax - An Uzbek court has fined several activists of the Seventh-day Adventist Church for illegal missionary work. "The heads of several groups, representing the Seventh-day Adventist Church, were punished for illegal religious activity," a source with a court in Uzbekistan's Syrdarya province told Interfax on Tuesday. In particular, the court held that Nadezhda Kozhina, born in 1955, who led the Adventist group and actively propagated Adventist ideas in the town of Gulistan, administratively responsible given her age and gender, the source said, adding that she fully admitted guilt at the trial. Other Gulistan residents, in particular Rita Madaminova, Eduard Yugay and Viktor Klimov, were also involved in missionary activity and consequently were fined, the source said. According to the Uzbek Religious Affairs Committee, today over 2,220 religious organizations representing 16 confessions have been registered with Uzbek justice agencies. The vast majority of them, about 90%, profess Islam. There are 164 Christian religious organizations, eight Jewish communities, six Bahai communities, a Hare Krishna community and a Buddhist temple in Uzbekistan.
