Central African Republic: Returning Muslims "forced to abandon their religion,"-Amnesty
Published on Sun, 08/02/2015 - 10:20Amnesty International said Friday that many Muslims returning to western areas of the Central African Republic after last year's intercommunal massacres are being threatened and "forced to abandon their religion," Uganda’s Daily Monitor reported Saturday.
"Having forced tens of thousands of Muslims to flee western CAR, anti-balaka militias are now repressing the religious identity of the hundreds of Muslims who remained or who have returned," said Joanne Mariner, the London-based rights group's senior crisis response adviser.
