The girl is hospitalised still in a "critical condition" in Alama Iqbal Civil Hospital,Sialkot.Advocate Sardar Mushtaq Gill,a Human Rights Defender and Chief of LEAD demand justice for the victim family.
Mr.Gill was informed by Advocate Ch.Tariq Seraj and Mr.Gill immediately contacted with the girl's mother,and Nasreen Bibi,and made them assured that LEAD would stand with them and fight for justice.
Mr.Gill, a Human Rights Defender who involved in the protection of religious minority rights, strongly condemns the sexual assault on a minor girl of only seven years old.This is not the first time that such an incident of rape case has taken place in the country.
In December , 2012 A 6 years old Hindu girl Wijenti Meghwar, student of class 1 who was raped in Ghulam Nabi Shah town while playing in street.
Last year 2013 January in Kasur District ,a Christian girl named, Fouzia Bibi, aged 15 years, was raped by two landlord and in July 2013 a Christian minor girl student of Class 7th in Village Doctor Wala, Vehari was also raped by one Muslim boy under the supervision of two armed men.
In Pakistan minorities are living under constant fear of religious persecution.We suppose there are many more cases which go unreported.
Christians in Pakistan will only find rest if they consolidate in a single area as an ethnic minority under UN protection. The first step would be organizing as a minority community and having representation on the UN body UNPO (Unrepresented Peoples and Nations Organization.)
