US persecuted church agency International Christian Concern reports that the Taliban government that seized power last year in the renamed Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan has just sent a letter to local Taliban forces throughout the country. It orders them to find and kill every convert – women and children included. The letter highlights the apostasy of more than 20 families who have turned away from Islam and says that local forces must act immediately to identify them and then to apply Sharia Law rigorously, ‘as a lesson for the infidels and their supporters’.
