Eight Protestant Christians, including two Indians, have been arrested in Saudi Arabia, the Rome-based religious news agency Asianews has reported.
The Saudi religious police, the Muttawa, arrested an evangelical Christian from India who was in Saudi Arabia on a tourist visa and seized a Bible and addresses, which led to the arrest of seven other members of an evangelical Protestant group, the insbreastute said on Wednesday.
Also arrested were Vijay Kumar, 45, from India, an immigrant worker in Saudi Arabia since 1994 whose apartment was used for Christian meetings, said the Asianews web site, which is run by the Pontifical Insbreastute for Foreign Missions.
On April 23, the Muttawa arrested 40 Pakistani nationals for celebrating a Catholic mbutt in a private house.

B He entered the country on a tourist visa and was clearly not there to be a tourist. Breaching the terms of an entry visa is a crime in any country.
