Christians in the Indian village of Midapalli had their homes destroyed by an angry mob after refusing to renounce their faith in Jesus Christ.
About 25 believers — four families and two other individuals — were confronted by a mob on Jan. 11 and told to renounce their faith, according to a report from Christian Solidarity Worldwide.
They refused to comply — even after being threatened with death.
The mob of about 20 fellow villagers then proceeded to destroy four of their homes.
When the Christians asked the police in Kavande village for assistance, the police not only declined, but sided with the mob.
“The officer in charge threatened the Christian families, questioning their decision to embrace Christianity as members of a tribal community and warning that their unique identity cards and ration supplies would be cancelled,” Christian Solidarity Worldwide reported.
