According to the information received, on 12 October 2015, the Government decided to close down 10 churches. On 13 October 2015, a large number of anti-Christian protesters gathered outside a Christian Protestant church in Suka Makur village. The protest turned violent and the church was burnt down. Protesters then attempted to attack another church in Dangguran village, but the police and the military intervened and protected the church. One protester was killed in the resulting confrontation. The attacks on churches have caused the internal displacement of around 4,000 Christians, who have fled to the neighbouring province North Sumatra. Some of the internally displaced persons have returned to Aceh Province, but the situation is still tense and the Christian community fear further attacks. A/HRC/31/79 141
