Juma Waiswa, 38, his wife Nasimu Naigaga, 32, and the couple's daughter, Amina Nagudi, 13, were reportedly attacked March 8 after refusing to deny their newfound belief in Christ.

The family accepted Jesus Feb. 17, after a pastor came to their home. The conversions sparked anger among relatives and local residents and a meeting with the family was called.

"During the meeting, we were asked about our salvation, and we affirmed to them that we had believed in Jesus and converted to Christianity," Waiswa told Morning Star News. "They told us to renounce Jesus, but we stood by the newly founded faith in Jesus."

This refusal sparked even more anger and dismay, with Waiswa's father reciting verses from the Quran before the group allegedly started beating the family with sticks.
