  • Bangladesh: threats

    Barnabas Fund

    The congregation of a church in Boldipukur has been threatened by unknown parties warning them not to pursue legal action against attackers who carried out a violent robbery in early July.

    Around 50 Muslim attackers rounded up and attacked workers at the church and seized valuable items. They attempted to rape female church workers. Police arrested 12 people in connection with the robbery. It is thought that the robbers were trying to find and steal land ownership documents for the site.

  • Bolivia: unconstitutional

    Morning Star News

    Evangelical Christians began a legal battle at the end of July against new measures that could result in the dissolution of Protestant denominations and other groups that have ministered in Bolivia for decades.

    As organisations that fail to comply with the new government measures will lose their legal standing, the National Association of Evangelicals of Bolivia presented a Petition of Unconstitutionality to the country’s Constitutional Tribunal, seeking their repeal.
