This week, the state’s sharpest tool against missionaries was the visa, not religion law. Nepal fined, deported and banned 24 South Koreans found at a Bible college for activities outside their tourist visas. In Khabarovsk, a Korean missionary got 5 years 8 months for “organising illegal migration”, and a Krishna festival in Russia drew 535,000 roubles in fines. In West Bengal, Christian families allege a forced ghar wapsi, with “purification” by water and worship at a Durga Puja pandal. In Tanzania, an Orthodox metropolitan publicly baptised 270 former Muslims, while converts were sentenced in Iran and tried in Egypt. In Rome, the “Church of the Sheaves” spoke of “honest memory” of mission’s colonial past.
