Nearly 700 arrested for violence against Christians in North India

Reports indicate that around 680 people have been arrested in north India for their involvement in planning, abetting and carrying out the riots against Christians in August and September last year. Approximately 900 cases have been filed with fast-track courts dealing with bringing to justice those responsible for the violence and murders. However, there are reports that Hindu extremists have made death threats against witnesses in the cases.
