US Congress Investigates Moroccan Expulsions

Frank Wolf will be leading U.S. Congressional hearings into the recent deportations from Morocco:

The House of representative Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission, which is chaired by James McGovern (D - MA) with ranking republican congressman Frank Wolf (R-VA), will hold a hearing on human rights and religious freedom in Morocco on Thursday June 17th, 2010.
The hearing will be open to the press and the public. The reason for the hearings, according to the commission, is the deportation of approximately 40 American citizens and scores of other foreign nationals on charges of proselytism, thus “it has raised serious concerns about the status of religious freedom in Morocco”.
The individuals deported, according to a statement from the commission, ran a wide array of humanitarian organizations, which provided services vital to the community. One of the organizations targeted was the Village of Hope, an orphanage that takes in children that have been abandoned by their parents.
