"India has frozen" the attempt to find the dead missionary – SKAI (www.skai.gr)

A senior official told the British network that the decision had been made at a meeting of officials from many departments and agencies, so as not to disrupt the life of the isolated race that lives on the island.

The 27-year-old missionary landed November 17 on the island, although the law prohibits the transition to the north of Stingen. His goal was to convert the inhabitants to Christianity.

Fishermen who helped him reach the island said they saw natives firing a corpse and burying it on the beach.

The body of John Allen Cow remained on the island and his attempts to locate it this weekend ended before even starting. An Indian police vessel approached the island on Saturday, but left when members of the Sheenelle tribe stranded on the shore, armed with bows.

The BBC source reported that a police vessel had sailed near North Santillan and Tuesday, but only to monitor the situation.

The International Survival Organization in the meantime, fighting for the rights of tribes and isolated populations, warned that any attempt to find the dead body of the missionary was particularly risky and called for an end to efforts.

The organization said that in the past, the Stingella had reacted in a hostile manner to any attempt to approach by strangers, while stressing that members of the breed probably had not developed 39, antibodies against common diseases and therefore could be captured by viruses if they came in contact with foreigners. .
