ªGreece In Actionª

One of the most important religious liberty trial wins in recent years in Europe was won in December 2001 by Vassilios Tsirbis. Working with Greek co-counsel, Vassilios got acquittals of all charges of proselytizing filed against 15 Pentecostals who had given away Bibles and Christian literature.  Vassilios serves as the representative of the European Evangelical Alliance in Brussels.
