A 21-year-old Christian woman from Somalia called Fozia was beaten unconscious by hardline Muslims in Isiolo, Kenya, it has been reported.
Fozia’s family had already fled Muslim persecution in the Kenyan capital of Nairobi in the previous year. In the attack, Fozia’s 18-year-old brother’s hands and ribs were badly injured and her sister, Asha, aged 19, had two teeth broken.
‘You do not belong’
The siblings had gone outside their home to try to restore the water supply at about 7pm when the assailants approached. ‘There were noisy shouts, calling us infidels,’ Fozia recalled. ‘They said: “We know you do not belong to us. We have got hold of you today – we have no mercy on you people. You need to return to where you came from.”
