h 2006,my father was poisoned by his brother over their land dispute.
Since then my uncle collected all my father's properties.The most painful=
part of it is that he stopped me from going to school just because I ref=
used to turn to christian.One day when I was praying my uncle came and ce=
ased=C2=A0 my Koran and my bids which I was using to pray and gave me a v=
ery big injury because he has warned me not to pray in his house again.
Since that day, I ran away from his house and ran to a Muslim brother who=
accommodated me in their family house as a fellow Muslim sister.Right no=
w I am still hiding in his house because my life is in danger if my wicke=
d uncle noticed that I am hiding there.
My dear good brother in Allah I am seriously in need of your help because=
my wicked uncle is still tracing me because if he happens to find me her=
e he might kill me just to claim all that my late father acquired.
