Update on Moldova Court Case
Kishiniov, Moldova....[ESD Staff/ANN]
Seventh-day Adventist leaders in Moldova have received the written court decision in the case of four Adventist workers who were fired for not working on a Saturday, their day of worship.
According to Moldova's top appeals court, their employer had a right to fire the workers under Moldovan law. The decision was described as "irrevocable."
"The
church in Moldova is considering what to do next," says Valery Ivanov,
communication director for the Adventist Church in Euro-Asia. "Based
on advice from world church leaders, they must carefully consult with
lawyers and other experts before deciding whether to make an appeal to
the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg, France. The outcome
of such a case could affect Adventists and other religious believers all
over Europe."
