Christians and other minorities in Pakistan are facing atrocities at the hands of Muslims and the government authorities.
“I’m a salesman. I was at my shop at around 6 pm when I got a call from my neighbour Abid to inform me that some gangsters had arrived at my place and that they were throwing away all our belongings. I rushed back home to find my little family trembling outside under the open sky
They had been slapped around and threatened. The house door was padlocked by the gangsters, who said that they had a court order to vacate our house,” Amir Pervaiz, the church elder said.
Sakina Lal, a Christian woman and a resident of 20 years in the same area, said she is being threatened and harassed too. While, a young Christian mother of three little girls and one son expressed fear for her children.
Christians have historically been mistreated, marginalised, and attacked in Pakistan.
Recently, a Christian priest was slain and another was wounded by gunmen on a motorcycle as they drove home from church in Peshawar, Pakistan’s northwest, police authorities said on Sunday
