Convert or die, Muslims told

-

Muslims in the western part of Central African Republic are being forced to hide their religion or convert to Christiani­ty under threat of death, Amnesty Internatio­nal said Friday. Central African Republic has been rocked by violence since the mostly Muslim Seleka rebel coalition toppled the longtime president in 2013. Widespread human rights abuses committed by Seleka led to the formation of a Christian militia known as the antiBalaka, who have targeted Muslims.
