Sudanese Christian tortured, loses children after confessing faith to family

A Sudanese woman who recently became a Christian has subsequently been chained, subjected to electrical shocks and has lost access to her children.

Awatif Abdalla Kaki, 27, who lives in Omdurman, Sudan, put her faith in Jesus Christ on Jan. 27, Morning Star News reported. After she told her family about her new faith, her husband chained her legs and tightened the chains in an attempt to force her to renounce Christianity and return to Islam. Her legs were injured by the chains.

Forced into psychiatric hospital

Her husband then claimed she was insane and forced her into a psychiatric hospital, where she was given an injection and electrical shocks against her will.

Her husband took the couple’s four young children and went to live with his parents.

In addition, an unnamed source told Morning Star News the woman is receiving no assistance from any Christians and that her parents and siblings contend she suffers mental illness because she has chosen to be a follower of Jesus Christ.

Sudan is No. 10 on Open Doors’ 2023 World Watch List of places most difficult to be a Christian.
