4 Arrested in Libya for Sharing Christianity

Four foreigners have been arrested in Libya on the charge of distributing Bibles and proChristianity pamphlets.

The four people are from Egypt, South Africa, South Korea, and the US.

They supposedly contacted a printer to make pamphlets explaining Christianity.

Spreading Christianity is illegal in Libya, which has a special division of the defense ministry that looks for people trying to spread religions that aren't Islam.

Preventative Security has the legal ability to kill anyone they catch spreading another religion.

Security officers held off of executing the four based on their being foreigners.

A trial is expected to begin next week, with death being a possible sentence.
