Protestants in Nepal

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Protestants in Nepal are a small religious minority, accounting for only .45% of the population.[1]

There has been fierce persecution by Maoist insurgents in the areas that they have taken over, such as shutting down their churches or having their pastors' hands cut off.[2]
