FYROMacedonian persecution on religious grounds

The FYROMacedonian Government chooses "modern" means of religious persecution; it persecutes the canonical Orthodox Church in the country -- the Orthodox Ohrid Archbishopric -- which is in canonical unity with all Orthodox Churches worldwide, by:
1) Sentencing, in constructed court processes, the Prelate of the canonical Church -- Archbishop Jovan to a series of prison terms (having him previously unlawfully expelled from his residence)
2) Destroying and demolishing the temples -- Churches and Chapels of the Orthodox Ohrid Archbishopric -- build on PRIVATE PROPERTY!
3) Expels the monastic from their homes -- the monasteries where they lived -- again without any legal document, or a court warrant
4) Refusing to officially recognize and register the canonical Church -- the Orthodox Ohrid Archbishopric, in opposition to its own laws and declarative euro-atlantic integration ambitions
5) Prohibits the entrance in the country to the clergy of ANY Orthodox Church!
6) Maltreats the priests and monks of the Orthodox Ohrid Archbishopric on its borders -- when entering or leaving the country, etc. etc.
Thus denying the religious freedoms, human rights and basic civil liberties to its citizen -- members of the Orthodox Ohrid Archbishopric!
