LAOS Govt. Persecutes its Christians

Two families were recently forced to leave their village in the Attapue
Province because they would not renounce their faith in Christ.

According to Christian Aid Mission (CAM), six women and their children
arrived in the city of Pakse in southern Laos on Jan. 2 after being
threatened for many months.
"The situation is getting very unstable and dangerous," two of the women
said.

Meanwhile, police arrested six believers gathered for worship in Kang
village on Dec. 27 and another Christian in Somsouk village.

On Dec. 28, authorities arrested three believers in Donphai village who
were conducting worship in their homes and another believer in Sanamsai
City.

Bibles were also confiscated during the arrests.

Other Christian leaders and believers are reportedly being sought by
authorities and remain in hiding.

Some reportedly have walked more than 60 miles to avoid arrest, CAM
said.
