So, Muslims in Pakistan killing Christian on pretext of family honor and religion is hardly surprising.There are cases in which Christian man and Muslim woman were killed even after the both converted to Islam and their marriage was solimnized according to Islamic Shari'ah.
The Christian family of deceased reached to Sardar Mushtaq Gill,Human Rights Defender and Advocate High Court for legal assistance and LEAD will follow this case for justice because the deceased's family is poor and can't bear legal expenses.
