Christian Families Forced From Homes After Refusing to Renounce Their Faith in India
Christian families in India’s Chhattisgarh state have been forced from their homes after refusing demands to abandon their faith, according to International Christian Concern.
The organization’s October 27 report describes an October 24 incident in Chindpal village in Kanker district, where a Christian family was evicted and its belongings thrown out after refusing to renounce its beliefs.
ICC also reported earlier attacks in Deorpalli village in Sukma district. It said metal roofs were removed from a pastor’s home and houses belonging to two Christian families, leaving residents without shelter.
Human rights workers assisting affected families linked the disputes to pressure to participate in traditional religious rituals, according to ICC. The organization said displaced Christians needed protection and help returning safely to their homes.
