Nissar Hussain and his family, including six children, have been forced to flee their home for the second time, amid fears for his safety after suffering seven years of persecution from his Muslim neighbours. He converted from Islam to Christianity and appeared in a 2008 TV documentary about mistreatment of Muslim converts. He was hospitalised a year ago after a brutal attack caught on CCTV. This week the fifty-year-old and his family were moved to a safe place by armed police. Mr Hussain said the culmination of continued 'extreme persecution' had devastated his family,and the dramatic arrival of armed police was a complete surprise. He said, 'My family are distraught and very traumatised to be leaving. But when your life is at stake, there is no other choice.' Mr Hussain converted to Christianity twenty years ago, but in recent years he has been subjected to harassment and violence, particularly after the documentary.
