A controversial Ugandan pastor, Aloysius Bugingo, has been summoned by a
court in the capital, Kampala to defend himself against allegations
that he burned copies of the Bible.
Wameli Anthony Yeboah, the lawyer
representing one of the complainants who took Pastor Bugingo to court
said in court that the action abused objects of worship:
It is criminal for him to burn Bibles because it goes against the
constitution which guarantees freedom of worship and he is abusing the
objects of worship which include Bibles, Qurans, rosaries and any other
items people may choose to use during worship.”
Pastor Bugingo has in the past denied allegations of burning bibles.
However his own television station Salt TV has aired recordings of him calling for certain copies of the Bible to be destroyed.
