The trial of the two South Sudanese pastors arrested in Khartoum will restart on 18 June, according to an attorney of the two men.

A court previously listened to the prosecutor and a witness against the pastors but did not make a final judgment.

The attorney defending the two pastors said the process is going well.

Relatives of the two pastors said the church leaders were in chains and have been placed in separate cells in Khartoum's Kober Prison.

“This is more and clear persecution to them,” a relative said. “Please let's keep praying for God help to our brothers in chains."
