The city said it had nothing to do with what was going on inside the building. But everything to do with the size of the structure and its lack of exit signs, fire sprinklers, and doors.
The City of Phoenix has said that Mr. Salman had regular gatherings of up to 80 people.
Michael believes it is his first amendment right to practice Bible study in his home on his property.
Michael’s sentence includes a 60 day sentence as well as a $12,280 fine.
In a video published by citychurchfellowship the story is told by Michael’s family first hand.
