Dozens of Christians have defied police and threats of attack from Muslim groups to hold prayers inside their boarded-up church near the Indonesian capital.

The group held their Sunday service surrounded by hundreds of police and security guards, saying they had as much right as any Indonesian to worship in the Muslim-majority country.

Local officials had put the ban in place after two church leaders were attacked and seriously wounded by suspected Muslim hardliners last week.
