We met with high Government leaders including Foreign Minister Stefan Andrei and religious leaders in an attempt to better understand the reality of what is occurring there. We came away deeply concerned over the human rights situation. especially the systematic persecution of Christians. the bulldozing of churches and other rerressive actions by the Government. On the one hand. we note with joy that since our return. Father Gheorghe Calciu. the Orthodox priest who spent more than 20 years in prison for his faith in Christ. has been permitted to emigrate to the United States. On the other hand. rather than moving toward an easing up on rights violations. Romania is cracking down.
