Kathmandu 22 July,
After declaring new constitution, Nepal has been somehow rapidly taking action against religious minorities in Nepal, especially towards Christianity. Several Christian families normally provide care to poor children as their own with or without any external supports. Many of them are informal in nature; this is the weakest point of Christian community invites interventions from authority.
In accusation of forceful conversion, Chinimaya Blown: Christian social worker has been sent to prison yesterday. In same case, pastor of Jerusalem Antioch Church has been freed on fifty thousand rupees bail. Both of them were arrested by Lalitpur police on 23rd and24th June respectively for supporting poor children. Chinimaya had been running Maya Aanath Ashram in Dhankuta but unable to renew it. She had to send some of the children back home those who have their guardian, in the process she had to brought them to Kathmandu in a care of Church temporarily. For this she is accused of collecting Hindu children from remote village and forced them to take part in Christian prayer services.
Both of them are charged against running industries of human trafficking and religious conversion.
Six out of fourteen Children are handed over to their respective guardian by Children welfare council today.
Similarly on 19th July, Bharatpur, police has arrested a Pratik Sunar and his wife for running children home without proper documents and distributing bible to the children. The family was providing food accommodation and education for eight poor children. Police had found a copy of bible that belongs to Pratik.
