Bishop strongly critical to change church asylum-instruction – NRK

– It is astonishing that the government sees their interest to act so brutally. And that there are regimes that we usually do not like to compare ourselves with, that relate to the church room, says Sommerfeldt said.

Saturday it was announced that the government is considering removing instructions that the police should not fetch out kirkeasylanter by force.

State Secretary Joran Kallemyr (FRP) in Ministry of Justice says to NRK that he did not want a situation where people will evade legal condensed decision by going into the church asylum.

Sommerfeldt call statement rustling “power-sabers.”

– We must insist that the church never denies people seeking care, emphasizes Sommerfeldt.

He warns the government about international reactions.

– So if this government looks they will benefit from photos that are sent worldwide by police officers entering church room to bring out people who themselves feel to be in distress, then it is a policy that the government of course is free to choose, says Sommerfeldt.

Also Left-veteran Odd Einar Dorum defends the right to sit in church asylum. He reacts sharply criticized the government open to scrapping scheme.

– This is a matter for the churches, not the government. Nave is holy, says Dørum said.
