Two Muslim girls who put their faith in Christ on 1 February were beaten and locked in a room without food for nearly three days.
Kakongoka Ahamadah had taken custody of Nabagabana Fatuma (14) and her sister Namwase Aisha (16) after the death of their father five years ago. The girls’ father had retained custody after divorcing their mother two years before he died. Their home is in Nasenye village, Pallisa District in eastern Uganda.
Aisha and her sister had been attending classes at an Islamic school where they had been taught about jinn (demons), which they said were oppressing them.
