Update: Eritrean church leader in urgent need of medical care

(Source: International Christian Concern) An imprisoned church leader in Eritrea is in desperate need of medical attention as he is diabetic and his health is rapidly deteriorating without treatment. Patriarch Antonios, head of the Eritrean Orthodox Church, was detained for asking the government to stop interfering with the church and to release members of his church who have been held in prison for their faith (for more information on his arrest, click here). "It is a miracle that he remains alive without medical care," said an Eritrean Orthodox priest in the United States.
