Pakistani police are threatening the father of 18-year-old Waqas Gill, a Christian man whom officers raped, killed and threw into a sewer, according to area Christians. The victim’s father said four Muslim policemen abducted his son without a warrant and without making any charges. Local Christian protestors said Muslim policemen unduly delayed an autopsy to protect fellow officers, on the assumption that Christians were socially and financially weak in the predominantly Sunni Islamic country. An autopsy was eventually undertaken and showed Gill was subjected to sexual assault, tortured, shot dead with police revolver bullets and thrown into a waste drainage line. Sources said at least six other area Christian youths had been similarly killed.

Pray: for an end to distorting the law, the corruption of law enforcers and the misuse of religious text to justify acts of extremism. (Ps.19:7-9)
