The statement says: The security would prevent any religious ceremonies held on Eastern Sunday by Christians. The State Security has emphasized that such ceremonies cannot be held in public places and with large gatherings. Anybody who wants to hold such religious ceremony is only allowed to have that in his private house and among the family itself.
