Jailed for Following Jesus
Source excerpt
Two Christian converts in western Uganda are finally free after spending nearly two years in prison following their decision to leave Islam and embrace Christianity. Sowed Kasheijea and Gad Katusabe, both from Karusandara in Kasese District, publicly accepted Jesus Christ in early 2024 after attending teachings at an Anglican church, where they became convinced of Jesus Christ’s divinity. Their conversion, however, sparked hostility from local Muslims. According to the two men, trouble began shortly after they openly declared their new faith. “When we saw Muslims coming towards the church with police, we knew danger had come,” Sowed Kasheijea said.
