The Christian majority in Chin state has been being the victim of the vandalism of the junta troops.
Light Infantry Battalion #266, a Hakha based junta troop vandalized and desecrated a Baptist Church in Tinam Village after they had used the building for overnight shelter last week. The same column of troops burned down nine houses in the village, causing the entire community to flee into the jungles.
A pastor who fled the village told The Chin Journal (TCJ) that around 700 villagers took shelter in a remote forest on March 28.
Chin Association of Maryland (CAM) issued a statement that CAM strongly condemns the burning of homes and destruction of churches in Zokhua and Tinam villages in Chin State including the Sang Fen Memorial Church.
