Laotian Village Chief Tells Christian Families To Renounce Their Beliefs

By Howard M. Friedman

ADVERTISEMENTS
The Christian Post yesterday reported on an incident in a small village in Laos that has been publicized internationally by Human Rights Watch for Lao Religious Freedom. According to the report:
The chief of Katin village, along with village security, social and religious affairs officials, warned all 53 Christian residents that they should revert to worshiping local spirits in accordance with Lao tradition or risk losing all village rights and privileges ? including their livestock and homes... The previous Sunday (July 5), officials and residents confiscated one pig each from nine Christian families and slaughtered the animals in an effort to force them to renounce their faith....
The article chronicles a long history in this particular village of actions against Christian families living there.
