Christian injured for not reciting kalma
LAHORE: About eight people severely tortured a Christian in Chak 2
(South) near Mandi Bahauddin district for not reciting the kalma.
According to a fax sent by the Holy Rosary Church to the Human Rights
Commission of Pakistan (HRCP), Shahbaz Masih, who worked as a tractor
driver for a local landlord, was picked up by several people from his
house on the night of April 2 and taken to an undisclosed location.
Later, the people told Shahbaz's family that they had killed him and
his body was lying in a field near his village. Shahbaz's family
members went to the location and found the boy alive. They took him to
hospital, where he recorded a statement with his family and church
authorities. According to the preliminary inquiry by the church, both
of Shahbaz's legs were broken because he refused to recite the kalma.
