From Kashmir-
The High Court of Jammu and Kashmir stayed further proceedings against an Anglican clergyman.
Last November, an Islamic court summoned Rev. Chander Mani Khanna to answer charges he had forced seven young Muslims to convert to Christianity in exchange for money, but both Khanna and the converts rejected the allegation.
Khanna was arrested and then released a week later, but in January, the court ordered his expulsion, along with other Christian missionaries.
"With the court order, the pastor can finally leave the state," said Sajan George, president of the Global Council of Indian Christians. "Because of the threats from the Islamic court, his family has already left. They are no longer safe there."
"The atmosphere is increasingly tense," Sajan said. "The situation is precarious and unstable. Islamic fundamentalists have threatened to seize all the properties of the families of the converts in order to have them go back to Islam.
