Christian Leaders in Bangladesh Condemn Attack on Tribal Christians

Bangladesh flag11/13/2016 Bangladesh (Asia News)

A clash took place in Bangladesh’s northwestern region between police and a small tribal group (the Santal), who are also Christians, due to a land dispute. Some consider this attack to have been “premeditated” as local police and Muslims tried to take the Santal Christians’ land away from them. A couple deaths and several injuries resulted from this clash, and the police have arrest warrants for 300 Santal Christians. Christians now fear leaving their homes, expecting that further retaliation will take place.

Let’s pray…

  • Pray that the Santal Christians will be able to stay in their homes and claim their rightful land.
  • Pray that further retaliation would not be brought against the Santal people.
  • Pray for the Santal people to remain firm in their faith during this time.
