Pak army asks Christians to vacate homes in camp

Leaders of the minority Christian community in the restive Khyber tribal region of northwest Pakistan have alleged that some 30 families were directed to leave their homes inside an army camp where they have lived for decades. The Christian leaders claimed the families were not given any notice before a commandant of the Khyber Rifles ordered the families to vacate their homes immediately, according to media reports on Monday. The orders were verbally conveyed to the Christian families when they were assembling in a church. .Only Christians who are government employees were allowed to stay while the rest were directed to leave.
