    • Christians have been told to leave Nepal or face dire consequences from the Hindu group that claimed responsibility for the bombing of Assumption Church in Kathmandu in May.
    • Nepal Defense Army (NDA) “The NDA has been threatening non-Nepalese priests and nuns. It has asked them to leave the country within one month,” the Jesuit bishop told UCA News on July 8.

      He said the latest threats were made in the name of NDA chief Ram Prasad Mainali.
    • NDA comprises former soldiers, former policemen and victims of Maoist guerrillas. It claims to have trained suicide bombers to fight communists, Christians and Muslims and restore Nepal as a Hindu nation.

      Protestants have also received similar warnings.
