he Acehnese government started on Monday the demolition of 10 churches in Aceh Singkil regency, Aceh.
Aceh Singkil Regent Safriadi claimed that an earlier agreement had been struck between Christians and Muslims regarding the demolition of the 10 churches. Ten churches would be demolished, while 13 others would be assisted with their permits.

Three churches, GKPPD Mandumpang, GKPPD Siompin and GMII Siompin, will be the first churches to be demolished. The others will be torn down over the next few days.
