Christians traveling to Saudi Arabia are being warned not to publicly display their Bible while in the country or travel with more than one copy of the text, despite the kingdom s recent openness to tourism.
The Christian persecution watchdog group Barnabus Fund released a statement Monday warning individuals that having a Bible can still put them at risk of arrest. Christian visitors should be aware that displaying a Bible in public, or taking more than one Bible into the country, could place them at risk of arrest, the group cautioned.
