LABASA, FIJI, February 7, 2002: Police have interviewed some church members of Wamikoro town over their alleged involvement in desecrating a Hindu temple next to their church. The Sun reported last week that the temple, next to a Pentecostal church, was vandalized when its door was forced open and pictures of Deities removed from large frames and destroyed. A member of the church said the temple in question was believed to be on land recently bought by the church and that was why the church members were angry. “One day some church members went into the temple to clean it, with the view of removing the temple,” this church member told the Sun. When this member asked the attackers why they had done such a thing, they said that the church did not believe in such religions and they wanted all things to do with it removed from their church grounds. The police have not confirmed this account.
