Chhattisgarh: Arrest of Nuns Raises Concerns

In Chhattisgarh, two nuns and an Adivasi youth were arrested, accused of forcing people to change religions and human trafficking.

The arrests occurred when Adivasi women were traveling to Agra for job training.

They were stopped at a railway station.

After a review it was shown that the women were adults and had willingly converted.

The arrested were released after bail.

No trafficking charges were sustained, and the investigation raised questions of religious freedom.
