Action came on the heels of “a
wave of persecution equaled only
in Communist countries” climaxed
j bv a total ban proscribing the
work of Bible education conduct
ed by the Witnesses in the Do
minican Republic since 1945.
An ultimatum to the Christian
missionaries to renounce all as
sociation with the organization
and cease communication with
their Brooklyn, N. 1Y., office or
leave the country was made last
month by Major General Ai*turo
Espaillat, Minister of Security,
whom the U. S. government has
sought to question in the disap
pearance of Dr. Jesus de Galin
1 dez. Some of the missionaries
have been in the country for 11
years.
According to official news
sources of the Dominican Repub
lic. proscription of the Christian
activity of Jehovah’s Witnesses
was legalized by President Hec
tor Trujillo on July 25 and the
law carries penalties of from one
to three months imprisonment
with fines from thirty to one
hundred dollars. It was announced
that over $1 million had been
appropriated by the Dominican
government to enforce the ban.
Mr. Long said a full-scale cam
paign to restrict the religious
freedom of the Witnesses has been
underway sin^e July 1st. King
dom Hall meeting places hail been
ordered closed and about 250 of
J.ehovah’s Witnesses were brought
in for questioning. The Witness
es have been subjected to beat
ings and violence by police and
prison guards in an effort to
make them renounce all associa
tion with the movement, Mr. Long
stated. About 50 are now in pris
on, with sentences of two years.
