Interesting article and glad to know this. The more we are aware of the legal plight of our brothers and sisters worldwide, the more we can include them in our prayers to Jehovah.  I continue to keep them (Eritrea, Russia, S. Korea, Turkmenistan, Singapore) in my thoughts and prayers as well as those in countries where our work is banned.

Personally, I have enjoyed the ministry in Turkey. The most of the local people in İstanbul and aegean region show respect for God and you will enjoy talking with them. The fanatics Muslims are in the entire country. If you are looking a place to expand your ministry, Turkey is a nice choice.
