Churches Tagged in Couvin

Country: Belgium

Date of incident: March 26, 2012


The doors of seven churches of Couvin, in the diocese of Namur, Belgium, were targeted by vandals. The front door of the church of Couvin was marked in white paint saying "Religion is the opium of the people".

The other six doors were tagged by the number "€ 14.26 / H", an amount which corresponds to the local subvention for the church, per inhabitant.
