LINK Dutch church holds 800-hour service to protect family from deportation - CNN
*A church in the Netherlands is holding an around-the-clock service that has lasted more than 800 hours, to shield a family from deportation.
Under Dutch law, police officers are not permitted to enter a church while a religious service is taking place. So, for more than a month, hundreds of pastors and volunteers from across the country have been meeting to maintain the 24/7 service in support of an Armenian family whose asylum claim has been rejected.*
