Pakistan's controversial blasphemy law has again claimed another victim, this time in Chichawatni under Sahiwal district where a mentally ill Christian youth 25-year-old Babar Masih; son of Iqbal Masih a resident of Shakir Colony.
Clerics gathered an angry mob outside the Masih family's residence and demanded he be handed over to them for justice, a case was filed against Babar on May 2nd 2011 at the local police station. The mobs threatened to attack and force their way into the house of the alleged blasphemer. Police then from another entrance to the house took him into a police van.
As soon as someone from the mob noticed all the policemen moving towards the road they then realized that Babar was out of the house; the mob chased the vehicle shouting slogans and demanding Babar to be handed over to them.
Seizing the opportunity, the rest of the Masih family ran for their lives as they know the mob would soon come back to vent their anger. The Masih family is now in hiding. Three families related to Babar have fled their homes to save their lives; they are also the only Christians in the neighborhood.

Amjad the brother of the accused said that many neighbours had informed him that local clerics had forced and pressured many people to provide false testimonies to the police to build up a case in order to register an FIR.
Babar is being accused of blasphemous and abusive words (or language) towards the Prophet Mohammed, Babar being a mentally ill person is an easy target for those wanting to fabricate blasphemy law cases.
It is being said that Babar was walking along the side of a mosque and used abusive language and insulted the Prophet and the local cleric is a witness; however the FIR is not registered by any person from the mosque but a dairy farmer named Zeeshan Arain who resides in the same lane as the Masih family.
Christian leaders has tried to reach an agreement with the clerics unsuccessfully who were reluctant to withdraw the case and accept Babar as a mentally ill person.
Sahiwal is a small city in Punjab known for it's dairy farms where the literacy rate is still low: about 30% overall and 51% in the city of Sahiwal. Sahiwal has also given Pakistan Abdus Salam, Pakistan's only Nobel Prize winner who was born in Santokdas, District Sahiwal.
The late Zia-ul-Haq introduced blasphemy laws in Pakistan that till today hang over the minorities as a guillotine framing them with fabricated cases for revenge or personal enmity.
Will Babar be given justice or will be police bow down to Mullahcracy ?

Posted by Ruby Sunday http://www.gopetition.com/petition/43947/sign.html http://www.gopetition.com/petition/43947.html Please sign the petition to help the UN.understand WHO the enemy actually is and ask their help in stopping the pread of Islamic murders worldwide! Background (Preamble): Handing' NGO Petition' to the PM"To oppose Radicalisation of Islam and uphold the cause of Integrity of British Society Date: Tue, 26 Apr 2011 14:17:13 +0100 This petition is to seek justice for all citizens to exercise their full rights and unlike one of the British lad got jailed for 70 days for burning a quran but a muslim got away with just a peanut fine of £50 for committing a big blunder of burning our prestigious poppy.Also those muslims who openly burnt our flag of honour and the USA FLAG AND SHOUTED "God curse the queen"British troops go to hell"Sharia will rule Britain"have escaped any legal action or punishment.They are also defended by the human rights no matter what they do. This is where 'Ruby's NGO' takes its stand to oppose such discriminations and unjust judiciary system that will ruin our country badly. This is therefore to be seriously reviewed and should be done by the public votes only.This includes "Release the lad who burnt quran and his charges be removed".How is it that channel four telecast of the 'DESPATCHES' has not brought any legal challenge against an open rebellion against the British Sovereignty. Multiculture has terribly failed in the Europe which the PM also confirmed in his speech in Munich. So why is nothing done about it further. It seems the PM is a double faced man who uses different tactics inside out and upholds double standards. It is time for everyone to vote here for what I am fighting for and anyone above 16 can vote and do it soon! Before 19th of June. I am also a UKIP member and future candidate for north London. Now to do the above we need many cheerful volunteers to take over many responsibilities and join hands for this.2011 Christians/Jews have sufferingand victim of faith 1947 these people do not see any aids.HISTORY MUST CHANGE NOW 2011

ReplyDeletePlease pray for Pakistan Christian, I thinks according to Bible fifth seal is open in Pakistan.
ReplyDelete9 When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God and the testimony they had maintained. 10 They called out in a loud voice, “How long, Sovereign Lord, holy and true, until you judge the inhabitants of the earth and avenge our blood?” 11 Then each of them was given a white robe, and they were told to wait a little longer, until the full number of their fellow servants, their brothers and sisters, were killed just as they had been.
