Pakistani Christians Speak Out at the United Nations

 

GENEVA, October 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Last week the Human Rights Council of the United Nations meeting finished with several new decisions taking place regarding problems in Palestine and Sudan. But a new and urgent issue of Christians in Pakistan was highlighted to the International Community by an International Think Tank, the "International Club for Peace Research".

ICPR had invited youths from Faisalabad, Pakistan - a group of young and affected Christian victims: Mr. Romail Sheraz Kenneth, Mr. Sohail Sajid, Mr. Gunivere David. The group showed and explained to the large number of NGOs, Diplomats, Local Christian Organizations and United Nations Officials the reality about the deadly situation of Christians, as no international help is allowed. Even assistance from the Punjabi Pakistani Army is not helping. The Christians in Pakistan have no voting rights, food is not distributed unequality and Christians are treated as the lowest minority possible. In the July 2009, about quarter a million Christians were displaced from their houses, women raped, children killed and mobs robbed the remaining houses. Mr. Sohail Sajid Narrated and showed photos of Muslim youth using innocent Christians as punching bags and throwing their bodies in sewers nearby. The 3 young Christians also pleaded to the International Community to urgently intervene in this urgent issue and international help shall be made available in terms of food, security and proper housing. They also highlighted that, after this event, will any Christian be allowed to travel outside Pakistan to announce to the International Community the actual and ground situation?
