«Breaking News» Dutch church has held non-stop service for a MONTH to protect refugee family from being deported

A Dutch church has provided a round the clock service for asylum seekers as authorities are unable to enter during prayers.

The Tamrazyan family from Armenia have been provided with over 700 hours of sanctuary by the Bethel Church in the Hague since October 26.

Husband Sasun and wife Anousche and their children, Hayarpi, Warduhi, and Seyran fled the former Soviet republic nine years ago, according to Eternity News.

The asylum seekers had been living in special accommodation before a Dutch court ordered their deportation in September.

They reached out to local congregations to help them and fled to the Bethel Church, saying they felt vulnerable to deportation at their asylum centre.

Hayarpi Tamrazyan, 21, has been active on social media in rallying support for her family and has uploaded many pictures with the congregation, including local councillors.

In one of her tweets last month she said: 'I can not and do not want #kinderpardon between my study and my family.'

This refers to the potential 'kinder pardon' she could have applied for as a young person studying in the country, but she refused to be separated from her family.

Pastors from around the Netherlands are giving sermons at the church and passing a relay candle onto each other so that the service continues.

Joost Schelling, a pastor who has been helping at the church, wrote on Facebook: 'I think it is good that the churches make a statement in their own way for a fairer and also faster asylum procedure.'

On Saturday Theo Hettema, who is the chairman of the Protestant Ministers' Council according to Euro News, appealed to all 'night owls' to join in the service as it begins its fifth week: 'I hope that you will be able to help us, the family and the children who are in the Netherlands who should fall under the kinderpardon.'

Armenia is locked in conflict with Azerbaijan over their border and skirmishes are common; a violation of a 1994 ceasefire agreement.

Although, the British Foreign Office advises against travel into this border region the rest of the country is thought to be relatively safe for tourists.

Husband Sasun and wife Anousche...

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
