The fatal Sunday attack on Ahmadis in Banten has captured the concern of not only local, but also international human rights organizations, including Amnesty International, which condemned the violence.
During the attack on Sunday, the Ahmadiyah congregation in Cikeusik, Banten, were mobbed by a group of locals, and three Ahmadis died in the raid after being beaten or stabbed to death.
