A leading Christian human-rights organisation working in south east Asia is demanding action by Sir Keir Starmer following the brutal murder of a Christian woman by her own Hindu relatives.
Bindu Sodhi, 46, from the village of Toylanka in Chhattisgarh, was assaulted with arrows and axes by fanatical Hindu relatives who opposed her conversion to Christianity four years ago.
She had faced ongoing threats, harassment and intimidation, which culminated in her tragic death over a land dispute when Sodhi’s family had tried to plough their fields during the monsoon season. Her body bore the marks of the attack, yet justice seems elusive as local authorities had failed to intervene, despite her family making numerous complaints of harassment.
