Persecutions in Laos

In the Communist nation of Laos, authorities of the village of Boukham arrested seven Christian leaders on December 16, 2011 and put them in the stocks for violating the traditional customs of the villagers even though Christianity is protected under the Lao constitution.  They were finally released on December 30, 2011 and fined.  The village officials are in violation of the law.

In the village of Huey, a deceased Christian woman was refused a Christian burial by village leaders on Christmas Day.

In the village of Natoo, village leaders on December 21, 2011 ordered 47 Christians - the only Christians in Natoo - to renounce their faith in Christ or be expelled from the village.
