Christians still in the crosshairs in Laos: some village leaders and inhabitants in the south of the country broke into a private home to prevent several families who had gathered inside from holding a celebration on 4th Feb., as part of Sunday services. This is what Radio Free Asia (Rfa) reports , relaunching the stories of some witnesses. The incident is just the latest in a series of attacks and lawsuits in the one-party communist state with a predominantly Buddhist population, despite a national law that protects religious freedom at least on paper. “The village authorities came here and demolished our house around 10.30 on Sunday morning,” a person present at the services in the house church of Kaleum Vangke village, in Xonboury district, Savannakhet province, told Rfa Lao. Speaking on condition of anonymity, like other sources consulted and eyewitnesses who fear retaliation, the Christian continues: “The authorities, including the village head, security guards and senior members of the village, suddenly attacked us and our place of worship destroyed.” The crowd of attackers burned Bibles and documents: “They destroyed our house-says the source-because they don’t want our Christian brothers and sisters to venerate God” and, despite the complaint, so far the authorities have not intervened.
