Christian evangelist murdered in Turkey, sparking fear among Christian community
A Korean evangelist was murdered in southeast Turkey amid escalating persecution in the Middle Eastern country, sparking fear among the Christian community.
Jinwook Kim, 41, was stabbed three times on the street in the Turkish city of Diyarbakir on November 19. He later died of his injuries in a hospital. He was married with one child and another due within days.
Turkish authorities have arrested a 16-year-old in association with the murder, which they say was motivated by robbery. However, local believers are urging police to investigate the incident as an assassination, rather than an attempt at extortion.
5 Christians wrongly imprisoned for over a decade released by India Supreme Court
Five Christians who’ve been imprisoned for over a decade in India for a crime that they and advocates say they didn’t commit were released on bail last week by the country’s Supreme Court.
The five Christian men were among seven men accused of the 2008 assassination of an 84-year-old Hindu monk and four of his associates.
The seven Christian men were accused by the Hindu community of killing the religious leader as tension rose between the two religious communities.
Advocates for the accused men say that they were convicted based on a fabricated claim that lacked credible evidence.
The men were convicted despite local Maoists reportedly taking responsibility for the murder. Additionally, advocates claim that the seven men were arrested and jailed simply to appease the Hindu community.
Appeals of their convictions have been pending for the last six years.
