Eight Christian counsellors in Nepal were on trial on 23 July, for the country’s first religious freedom case since the new Constitution was implemented on 2015.
One woman and seven men were arrested in June for distributing a pamphlet about Jesus in a Christian school while helping children through the trauma of last year’s earthquake. The group was eventually released on bail, before the trial in July.
Anything perceived as evangelising is outlawed in the new Constitution.
