Relentless in its religious persecution the Burmese military junta has halted the construction of a Kachin Baptist Church under Kachin Baptist Convention (KBG) in Tarung Village in Hukawng Valley in Kachin State northern Burma, said local sources.
According to church leaders, over a hundred families belong to the Tarung Kachin Baptist Church. The construction of the church was banned over two years ago by the Danai-based Burmese Army, Regional Operation Command (ROC or Da-Ka-Sa).
The Da-Ka-Sa has also banned collecting of firewood from nearby forests needed to bake bricks for the construction, church leaders added.
"I saw the church has not completed the construction yet. I also saw a large pile of stones in front of the church compound," a traveler who recently came back from Tarung told KNG today.
