The Jewish Community and other religious minorities in Italy are deeply concerned by the Italian Government’s action in ordering the closing of the Churches of Christ, a Protestant sect, and are closely following developments in the case.

Minorities’ spokesmen expressed the hope that out of the discussion over this case would come a stricter application of the constitutional guarantees as opposed to the police laws of the fascist period still being applied to religious minorities here.
