The Pakistani Center for Law and Justice sent me this message. The injustice against Christians perpetrated by Muslims using Pakistan’s blasphemy law is ongoing. It is a massive violation of human rights, but the world turns a blind eye. Maybe noticing it would be “islamofauxbia.”

Christian man accused under blasphemy for demanding repair services wage from Muslim

On 15 June 2017, Muhammad Ishtiaq, son of Haji Muhammad Rafique, caste Miraasi, came into the shop of Ashfaq Masih, son of Yaqoob Masih, resident of Green Town, Baghariyan Road, Lahore, to get his bicycle repaired. Ashfaq Masih repaired it and asked him for payment. He replied to him that “I am a Sadhu person and you should have to give me free services,” but Ashfaq Masih said to him, “I only believe in Jesus Christ not others, so please gave me the payment since I repaired your bicycle.”

After hearing that, Muhammad Ishtiaq blamed him that he use abusive words against the holy prophet and lodged a FIR (First Information Report) against Ashfaq Masih under section 295C PPC in the police station of Green Town, Baghariya Road, Lahore.
