Prayer Request For Victims of Blasphemy Laws

Christians are living throughout the country in constant fear and as treated second-class citizens. Religious persecution and sectarian violence is on the increase against them and Christians are the main target of Islamic Extremists. The country’s draconian and inhumane blasphemy law and other discriminatory laws are being used to intimidate, harass and persecute Christians. Unfortunately, the blasphemy laws has become a powerful tool in the hands of the Islamic extremists and are continually being misused to attack churches and burn down Christian towns and villages and also kill and burn alive innocent Christians without giving them a chance to prove themselves innocence. Sadly, the government has still failed to take measures to stop misuse of inhumane blasphemy laws against Christians and other religious minorities. LEAD is among the organizations that are campaigning to repeal this controversial law or at least bring about appropriate changes to stop its misuse but our voice be ignored by Pakistani Authority. Please pray for blasphemy victims Asia Bibi and Nabeel Masih and all for those who are suffering under blasphemy laws and also Pray for us because some extremists are intimidating us to involve in blasphemy laws.
