HINDU EXTREMISTS IN INDIA CONTINUE TO HOLD PASTOR’S WIFE CAPTIVEHindu extremists who kidnapped the wife of a Christian pastor in India six weeks ago are still holding her captive. Local police officers have refused to make any attempt to find Manulaben Dinana, 23. They have also refused to question the kidnappers who were identified by eyewitnesses as members of a local group of Hindu extremists. Dinana is the wife of pastor Dharmesh Ninama, who himself has been assaulted twice by the same group—once in 2002 and again last year. Despite ongoing appeals to the director general of police, the State Human Rights Commission and State Women’s Commission, officials have taken no action. Meanwhile, Dinana remains in captivity and her husband fears for her life.From the news flow of Intercessors Network
