Today our friends at Compass Direct share such a sad story about a man who has been accused wrongly of desecrating the Quran by writing "Jesus is Lord" inside of a Quran.
The man accused, Woldegorgis, was sentenced to three years in prison, but thankfully only spent two and was released early. However, Compass reports the following...which should make us all cry.
Widower returns home from prison to find house taken over, two kids missing.MOYALE, Ethiopia, May 17 (CDN) — His wife died shortly before he was falsely accused of desecrating the Quran, and by the time he was released from prison in southern Ethiopia, his two children, ages 6 and 15, were missing.
Tamirat Woldegorgis walked out of prison in Jijiga on April 25, limping, after spending nearly two years in custody, including months in a small cell with 50 other inmates that left one leg paralyzed.
“I have been trying to locate my children, but all in vain,” Woldegorgis told Compass. “My life is ruined – I have lost my house, my children, my health. I am now homeless, and I am limping.”
