Authorities in Sudan Arrest, Torture Seven Displaced Christians
Military Intelligence falsely accuses them of theft, sources say.

By Our Sudan Correspondent
JUBA, South Sudan, January 24, 2025 (Morning Star News) – Intelligence agents of the Sudan Armed Forces (SAF) on Jan. 14 arrested and tortured at least seven Christians in Shendi, about 150 kilometers (93 miles) northeast of Khartoum, sources said.

The members of the Sudanese Church of Christ had sought refuge in areas controlled by the SAF from the military fighting in Khartoum, but upon arrival in Shendi, River Nile state, they were arrested by personnel from Military Intelligence (MI), according to the Sudanese Christian Youth Union.

MI agents accused the Christians of supporting the rival paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and receiving stolen money, with the Christians denying both allegations. The youth union asserted that the false accusations were an excuse to arrest the Christians, and an attorney following the case said authorities tortured them into confessing.

The Christian attorney, Shinbago Mugaddam, said the seven young Christians were denied legal aid, tortured and taken to a sham trial on the same day as their arrest.

“They were arrested by the army intelligence and were subjected to beatings and interrogations,” Mugaddam, following the case from another country as a refugee from the war, told Morning Star News. “A case was opened against them where the complainant and the witnesses for the accusation were all members of the armed forces. The court did not ask them whether they needed a lawyer or had witnesses to deny this incident, knowing that they were beaten and forced to confess and provide evidence against themselves.”

The accusers and the witness were all from Military Intelligence, and they forced the Christians to plead guilty against their will, he said.

“These youths were tried under Article 174 of the Sudanese Criminal Code of 1994 relating to theft in a summary trial in the Shendi Court, River Nile state, where the conditions for a fair trial were not met,” Mugaddam said.

The Union of Sudanese Christian Youth condemned the arrests and called for their immediate release. Describing the arrests as a violation of human and religions rights in Sudan, the body urged all rights groups, regional and international organizations to intervene and protect those who have jailed without evidence.

“We in the Sudanese Christian Youth Union hereby condemn these violations that are based on the religion, color and ethnicity” reads the statement issued on Turesday (Jan. 21).

In October 26 Christians were arrested by Military Intelligence in Shendi after fleeing areas under RSF control in Khartoum.

Sudan’s military-led government in May approved a law restoring broad powers and immunities to intelligence officers that had been stripped after the ousting of President Omar al-Bashir in April 2019. The General Intelligence Service (GIS) Law (2024 Amendment) empowers intelligence officers to summon and interrogate individuals, conduct surveillance and searches, detain suspects and seize assets, according to the Sudan War Monitor.

The amendment granted extensive immunity, shielding agents from criminal or civil prosecution without the approval of the head of GIS. In capital punishment cases, it gave the director authority to form a special court.

“Any act committed by any member of the agency in good faith during or because of the performance of his job duties, or the performance of any duty imposed on him, or from any act issued by him under any authority authorized or granted to him under this law, shall not be considered a crime,” the law’s Article 52 states, according to the Sudan War Monitor.

Sudan was ranked No. 5 among the 50 countries where it is most difficult to be a Christian in Open Doors’ 2025 World Watch List (WWL), down from No. 8 the prior year.

Conditions in Sudan worsened as civil war that broke out in April 2023 intensified. Sudan registered increases in the number of Christians killed and sexually assaulted and Christian homes and businesses attacked, according to the WWL report.

“Christians of all backgrounds are trapped in the chaos, unable to flee. Churches are shelled, looted and occupied by the warring parties,” the report stated.

Since April 2023 militants of the paramilitary RSF have been battling the SAF, and each Islamist force has attacked displaced Christians on accusations of supporting the other’s combatants.

The conflict between the RSF and the SAF, which had shared military rule in Sudan following an October 2021 coup, has terrorized civilians in Khartoum and elsewhere, killing tens of thousands and displacing more than 12.36 million people within and beyond Sudan’ borders, according to the U.N. Commissioner for Human Rights (UNCHR).

The SAF’s Gen. Abdelfattah al-Burhan and his then-vice president, RSF leader Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, were in power when civilian parties in March 2023 agreed on a framework to re-establish a democratic transition the next month, but disagreements over military structure torpedoed final approval.

Burhan sought to place the RSF – a paramilitary outfit with roots in the Janjaweed militias that had helped former strongman Omar al-Bashir put down rebels – under the regular army’s control within two years, while Dagolo would accept integration within nothing fewer than 10 years.

Both military leaders have Islamist backgrounds while trying to portray themselves to the international community as pro-democracy advocates of religious freedom.

Sudan had dropped out of the top 10 of the WWL list for the first time in six years when it first ranked No. 13 in 2021.

Following two years of advances in religious freedom in Sudan after the end of the Islamist dictatorship under Bashir in 2019, the specter of state-sponsored persecution returned with the military coup of Oct. 25, 2021. After Bashir was ousted from 30 years of power in April 2019, the transitional civilian-military government had managed to undo some sharia (Islamic law) provisions. It outlawed the labeling of any religious group “infidels” and thus effectively rescinded apostasy laws that made leaving Islam punishable by death.

With the Oct. 25, 2021 coup, Christians in Sudan feared the return of the most repressive and harsh aspects of Islamic law. Abdalla Hamdok, who had led a transitional government as prime minister starting in September 2019, was detained under house arrest for nearly a month before he was released and reinstated in a tenuous power-sharing agreement in November 2021.

Hamdock had been faced with rooting out longstanding corruption and an Islamist “deep state” from Bashir’s regime – the same deep state that is suspected of rooting out the transitional government in the Oct. 25, 2021 coup.

The U.S. State Department in 2019 removed Sudan from the list of Countries of Particular Concern (CPC) that engage in or tolerate “systematic, ongoing and egregious violations of religious freedom” and upgraded it to a watch list. Sudan had previously been designated as a CPC from 1999 to 2018.

In December 2020, the State Department removed Sudan from its Special Watch List.

The Christian population of Sudan is estimated at 2 million, or 4.5 percent of the total population of more than 43 million.

Prison Terms for Christians in Iran Shot Up in 2024, Group Says
Report on sham judiciary released as regime faces international review.

By Our Middle East Correspondent
LONDON, January 22, 2025 (Morning Star News) – Bent on suppressing Christianity in Iran, Islamic courts handed down six times more prison time to persecuted Christians in 2024 than the previous year, according to advocacy group Article 18.

Iranian courts last year sentenced 96 Christians across the country
to 263 years in prison for practicing their faith – compared with 22 Christians sentenced to a total of 43 years in 2023, the group stated Monday (Jan. 20) in its annual report.

The increase in years of prison happened largely as cases from a 2023
crackdown on home churches finally worked their way through the Iranian
legal system at the same time courts handed down lengthy sentences to five Christians, according to the report, entitled, “The Tip of the Iceberg.” Four converts were sentenced to 10 years each in prison for “engaging in missionary activities” and “conducting activities against national security.” Another Christian was given a 15-year prison sentence for “undermining national security and promoting Zionist Christianity.”

At least 139 Christians were arrested last year on issues related to their faith. Those arrested increasingly found themselves charged under Article 500, amended in 2021 to include longer prison sentences. The Iranian judicial system also handed down nearly $800,000 in fines in an attempt break the backs of “dissident” church groups, according to the report.

Article 18 cautioned that religious freedom violations in Iran are actually much greater than is publicly known. Article 18 and other advocacy groups analyzed data following the release of more than 3 million case files from the Tehran judiciary that were heard between 2008 and 2023. The files were obtained and released in 2024 by the “hacktivist” group Edalat-e Ali.

The report included more than 300 legal files of Christians who faced charges for their faith, including many cases that were previously unknown. There are likely still undiscovered cases of Christian prisoners of conscience, according to the report.

“It is proof of what we have been saying for years,” Steve Dew-Jones, news director for Article 18, told Morning Star News.

The Iranian government has long denied persecution of Christians as it portrays itself as a respectable player on the world stage, and the analysis of the judicial files is seen as a “smoking gun” to be used against the regime’s claims. This Friday (Jan. 24) in Geneva during its U.N.-directed Universal Periodic Review of human rights, the Iranian government again will be called on to defend its human rights record and present itself as a “plausible entity” in the U.N., something the files shatter, Dew-Jones said.

“They talk about freedom of religion, how many churches are open and how
they have no one in prison for their faith, when in fact the reality is exactly opposite,” Dew-Jones said.

In addition to the substantial increases in the length of prison sentences, Article 18
researchers noticed several other trends in the way officials attacked Christians, in particular converts from Islam. As fall approached, agents of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps began investigating the finances of Christians and the lawyers who defended them, looking for any links to foreign sources.

“Over a two-month period, Christians in at least five cities were arrested or summoned for prolonged questioning by IRGC agents on suspicion of having received funds from abroad, for which they were threatened with charges under the amended Article 500 of the Islamic Penal Code (IPC), which allows for 10 years imprisonment,” the report reads.

The IRGC threats were not empty; more than 70 percent of the charges against Christians last year were filed under the amended Article 500.

“The Iranian government seems to have intensified its efforts to isolate and financially undermine the Christian community as part of a broader strategy to suppress its growth and influence,” according to the report.

While Iran invests in expanding influence across the region in places like Iraq, Syria, Yemen and Lebanon, officials interpret any expansion of Christianity within Iran as an “analogous threat,” justifying further financial suppression, according to the report.

“Authorities have even told some Christian detainees that ‘foreign hostile states,’ including ‘Zionist groups,’ are actively supporting Christian organizations in Iran, rationalizing the severe measures taken against church finances as a matter of ‘national security.’”

Besides the judiciary using the amended article to put a choke-hold on the finances of Christian groups, “it was also notable in 2024 that in at least two cases, judges used the amended Article 500 of the IPC to issue confiscation orders for Christian properties and vehicles,” the report states.

Iran ranked ninth on Christian support organization Open Doors’ 2025 World Watch List (WWL) of the 50 countries where it is most difficult to be a Christian. The report noted that despite persecution, “the church in Iran is growing steadily.”

Five Muslims Abduct Christian Girl, 14, in Pakistan
Family fears she is forcibly converted to Islam for ‘marriage.’

By Christian Daily International-Morning Star News
LAHORE, Pakistan, January 21, 2025 (Christian Daily International-Morning Star News) – Five Muslims on Jan. 9 abducted a 14-year-old Christian girl from outside her home in Pakistan, her father said.

Sharif Masih, of the Korpur area of Sialkot, Punjab Province, said he fears the kidnappers may try to forcibly convert his daughter, Saneha Sharif, to Islam and force her to marry one of the Muslim suspects.

“Saneha was lured out of the house by a Muslim girl whose family had recently moved to our neighborhood,” Masih told Christian Daily International-Morning Star News. “A neighbor, Rehan Razaque, saw her being bundled into a van by the accused, which included two women, one of whom was the mother of the girl who had brought Saneha out of her home.”

A sweeper at a wedding marquee who is a member of the Brethren Church, Masih said the suspects included Muhammad Dildar, who had been making unwelcome advances toward his daughter that she always discouraged. He said he informed police as soon as learned of her abduction.

“The police registered a case but arrested only two accused, including Samina Usman and Shabbir Ahmed,” Masih said. “Samina has been sent into judicial custody, while Ahmed is still in police custody, but both the accused have not yet provided any lead that could help recover Saneha.”

The Christian said that police have been lax since making the two arrests and have done nothing to recover his daughter.

“Despite repeated pleas to the police, they are not making any effort to recover Saneha or arrest the other accused,” Masih said. “We even gave them some cell phone numbers to trace the whereabouts of Dildar, but nothing has been done to find him.”

Masih said his poverty and Christian faith were the reasons the police were not responding to his requests.

“The investigating officer of the case, Assistant Sub-Inspector Ihsan Ullah, is making no effort to track the accused,” he said. “It’s been nearly two weeks Saneha has been missing, and we fear that the accused will force her to convert to Islam and marry Dildar to give a legal cover to their crime.”

His wife has fallen ill since their daughter’s disappearance, requiring her to be taken to the hospital twice for treatment, he said.

Appealing Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz and the inspector general of police for intervention, Masih said such brazen criminal acts should be dealt with sternly to protect the vulnerable minority communities.

“We are very weak and can only plead for the higher authorities to save our daughter from these criminals,” he said.

The incident drew widespread condemnation from rights advocates. They demanded the government pass a bill pending in the Punjab Assembly since April that would increase the legal age for marriage for both boys and girls to 18 years.

“The provincial government should pass the new anti-child marriage bill at the earliest to protect minor girls, especially those from the Christian and Hindu minority communities, from forced conversions in guise of marriages,” said Christian attorney Lazar Allah Rakha.

Until the government passes and strictly implements the new law, minority girls and women will continue to be victimized by predators for sexual exploitation, Rakha said.

Pending approval of the bill, the minimum age for girls to marry is still 16. Nationally, the Christian Marriage (Amendment) Act 2024 set the marriageable age at 18 only for Christians; if they convert to Islam, girls considered Muslims come under sharia (Islamic law), which allows them to marry younger.

Typically, kidnapped girls in Pakistan, some as young as 10, are abducted, forced to convert to Islam and r***d under cover of Islamic “marriages” and are then pressured to record false statements in favor of the kidnappers, rights advocates say. Judges routinely ignore documentary evidence related to the children’s ages, handing them back to kidnappers as their “legal wives.”

The U.N.’s Human Rights Committee on Nov. 7 expressed concern about persistent reports of abduction and forced marriages of girls from minority religions in Pakistan, regardless of their age and prevailing law. Forced to convert to Islam under threat of violence, they suffer r**e, trafficking and other forms of sexual and gender-based violence.

The U.N. body expressed concern about reports of the widespread impunity surrounding these cases.

“Victims are usually not returned to their families during investigations but forced to stay with their abductors, including members of organized criminal groups, or placed in unnecessary and inappropriate alternative care facilities, with no or limited regard for child protection standards, exposing victims to further risk of exploitation, abuse and harmful practices,” the committee stated in its concluding observations on Pakistan’s second periodic review of human rights situation.

It urged Pakistan to intensify efforts to eradicate forced conversions and marriages, including strengthening its legal framework and enforcement mechanisms.

“The state party should also ensure that all allegations of forced conversions and forced marriages of girls are promptly, impartially and effectively investigated, that those responsible are brought to justice, and that all victims have access to effective remedies and support services such as adequate shelters, legal aid, psychological counselling and rehabilitation programs,” it stated.

Pakistan ranked eighth on Open Doors’ 2025 World Watch List of the most difficult places to be a Christian.

Christian Woman Miscarries after Assault in India
Village head and family assault her on expectation she would pray for relative.

By Our India Correspondent
NEW DELHI, January 20, 2025 (Morning Star News) – A Christian woman in central India suffered a miscarriage this month after tribal relatives who practice traditional religion beat and strangled her, sources said.

Kunika Kashyap was more than six weeks pregnant when she was admitted to Government District Hospital-Maharani in Jagdalpur, Bastar District, Chhattisgarh state in serious condition on Jan. 2. Tribal village headman Ganga Ram Kashyap, his wife and adult daughter had assaulted her that day after the headman began video recording her in hopes that he might catch her praying for a common relative – also a Christian – as evidence of some perceived crime, said her husband, Mandu Ram Kashyap.

The 25-year-old Kunika Kashyap, of Bade Bodal village, had gone to visit her cousin’s sister, a Christian who was ill, about 150 meters from her home. Tribal headman Ganga Ram Kashyap, brother-in-law of the sick woman and a cousin of Kunika Kashyap’s husband, spotted her entering the house.

While Kunika Kashyap was sitting at her bedside, Ganga Ram Kashyap began recording her on his mobile phone, said Salim Hakku, a Christian leader from Jagdalpur.

“He suspected that Kunika might pray with her sick relative and wanted to capture it as proof on his cell phone,” Hakku told Morning Star News.

Kunika Kashyap objected, but Ganga Ram Kashyap refused to stop, she said.

“When he continued filming even after my protests, I swatted his hand away,” Kunika Kashyap told Morning Star News from her hospital bed.

She said Ganga Ram Kashyap immediately began to assault her. His wife and daughter rushed out of their house at the commotion and joined in the attack, Kunika Kashyap said.

“Ganga Ram kicked my belly with his foot, strangled me and hit me violently,” she told Morning Star News. “His wife and daughter joined him in beating me with a thick wooden bamboo, kicked my chest, my stomach, my head and my whole body brutally.”

Kunika Kashyap managed to escape, said her husband.

“It was only God’s doing that enabled her to escape from three people continuously beating her from all sides,” said her husband, who works as a mason and daily wage laborer in Jagdalpur, 16 miles from their village.

Kunika Kashyap was in severe pain when her husband rushed her to the government hospital in Jagdalpur, where treatment began only around 5 p.m., he said.

Medical records state that she was admitted with “neck pain, pain over right leg, pain over temporo-occipital and swelling, abdomen pain and chest pain, contusion over neck region,” and that she was six weeks and six days pregnant.

“The initial ultrasound showed that the fetus was alive,” said her husband, “but by 6:30 in the evening she suffered a miscarriage.”

The couple has been married for two years, and this was her first pregnancy, he said.

Discharged from the hospital on Jan. 6, Kunika Kashyap was still undergoing treatment at this writing.

Husband Mandu Ram Kashyap, who along with church elders approached the local police station and filed a written complaint against Ganga Ram Kashyap on Jan. 2, said he suspects officers have not registered a First Information Report (FIR), as he has received no copy of one.

“Though the police said that they would register an FIR after initial investigation, the police never called us for any inquiry, nor recorded my wife’s statement,” Mandu Ram Kashyap said.

The police visited him and his wife only once, on Jan. 7, and asked them about the precise area of the house where the assault had taken place, which they showed them, he said.

Mandu Ram Kashyap and his wife are one of 50 Christian families in the village of about 120 families. Children of Christian parents, each has been Christian for more than 20 years and attend the Episcopal Methodist Church.

Other Incidents
Other Christians in the village have been targeted, said Mandu Ram Kashyap.

“We have been facing strong opposition for the past few years from the tribal village headman and the villagers,” he said.

Christians are not allowed to draw water from the same site as other villagers, said “nor are we allowed to bury our dead in our private property,” he said.

When Budai Kashyap, a 90-year-old Christian woman, died on Dec. 29, the Christian community buried her on private land they had purchased. Headman Ganga Ram Kashyap reached the burial site and asked if they had permission for the burial. The confrontation escalated and turned into a physical altercation between the Christians and the headman and his men, Manu Ram Kashyap said.

On Jan. 7, the son of Pastor Subhash Baghel was not allowed to bury his father in Chhindawada village even though a section of the hamlet has been designated for Christians, Hakku said.

“Even though his aunt and grandfather were previously buried in that graveyard, the villagers and the headman refused to let him bury his father,” he said.

The pastor’s son filed a petition in the Chhattisgarh High Court asking permission to bury his father in the village graveyard, which the court rejected on Jan. 12. While his father’s body awaits burial in the Jagdalpur mortuary, he is appealing to the Supreme Court.

Hakku said Christians were shocked that authorities supported a shutdown in protest of alleged forced conversion and the Christian community’s strife with headman Ganga Ram Kashyap. The protest was organized by the Sarva Adivasi Samaj (All Tribal Society) in Bastar District for Jan. 7.

“It was quite shocking that the authorities gave permission to the headman to carry out the protest despite written complaints against the headman by the Christian community in two different incidents,” Hakku said. “Instead of acting against the headman, the police supported the shutdown. This shows the bias of the authorities.”

The hostile tone of the National Democratic Alliance government, led by the Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), against non-Hindus, has emboldened Hindu extremists and others to attack Christians since Narendra Modi took power in May 2014, religious rights advocates say.

India ranked 11th on Christian support organization Open Doors’ 2025 World Watch List of the countries where it is most difficult to be a Christian. The country was 31st in 2013, but its position worsened after Modi came to power.
