Nearly 30 church leaders in Scotland are suing the government and asking for a review to be performed by the courts on pandemic lockdowns restricting churches.
It is a criminal offense "in the highest tiers" for churches to hold services in-person in Scotland, the Christian Post reports.
Church leaders say in their claim that lockdown restrictions have led to the criminalization of public worship. This, they say, violates Articles nine and 11 of the European Convention on Human Rights and the Scottish Constitution.
The 27 church leaders sent a letter last month to Scottish Ministers after new lockdown orders took effect in Scotland a week into the new year.
