Christians in India are urging the government to speak out after dozens were killed in ethno-religious violence and thousands more forced to flee their homes.
Most of the victims of the violence in Manipur are reported to come from minority tribes, including the largely Christian Kukis.
Open Doors reports that over 100 churches have been burnt down and a further 300 buildings belonging to Christians, including homes and Bible colleges, have been destroyed.
Many of the displaced are now living in temporary camps.
An Open Doors partner in India, who cannot be named for security reasons, described the situation as "gruesome". CT.
