Oppressive Blasphemy Law Used to Arrest More Christians

[116] prayers in [8] nations have been posted for Pakastani Christians.

Pakistan’s blasphemy laws continue to be a tool for persecution of our Pakistan Christian family members. “Every week we have at least one case of Christians being wrongly accused,” a front-line worker said. Two 18-year-old boys, Tabish and Kalu, were accused of cutting up parts of the Quran and using the fragments as confetti during a festival in August. The boys are now in hiding. A pastor’s son was also accused of participating and was arrested, but police released him after realizing he wasn’t at the event. Two Christian sisters, Sonia and Samia, were also charged with blasphemy in August for allegedly throwing parts of the Quran into the trash. The charge carries a potential death sentence. “This blasphemy law is like a sword hanging over the church,” said the front-line worker, who asked that Christians pray for the accused and for the protection of all Pakastani Christians.
