Pakistan: Christians still persecuted

Written by Super User 14 Oct 2011

An innocent spelling mistake by a Christian school girl has proved grounds enough for Muslims to accuse her of blasphemy. Sir Syed Girls’ High School has taken the unusual step of accusing one of its students of blasphemy and expelling her after she misspelt a word whilst answering a question on a poem praising Prophet Muhammad. Also a mentally ill Christian man has died whilst being held in prison in Lahore on blasphemy charges. Aslam Masih was also suffering from tuberculosis at the time of his death.

The injured, mainly women and children, were immediately taken to a hospital in Multan.

Pray: for God to protect the many isolated Christian communities in Pakistan as they follow their faith. (Ps.5:11)
