A Muslim in Uganda beat his wife unconscious for attending a church service on 18 September.
Hussein Kasolo had recently married Fatuma Baluka, 21-year-old daughter of an Islamic leader in a predominantly Muslim village in Eastern Uganda.
‘When I arrived home, my husband shouted at me as an infidel, and then and there started hitting me with a metallic object,’ Baluka said. ‘I fell down, only to find myself in a hospital bed.’ Neighbours said they arrived and rescued Baluka, who was bleeding from head and leg injuries as her husband continued to hit her.
