Pakistani Christians demonstrate outside UN headquarters over Jaranwala violence

By IBNS
Aug 27, 2023..

A large number of Pakistani Christians demonstrated outside the UN headquarters on Thursday evening and urged the world body to take decisive action to protect the minority community from mob attacks.


Although it was a working day, about 1,000 Chris­tians came from across the US east coast to “show how the mob attacks in Jaranwala have hurt every Christian,” James Cyprian, one of the organisers of the rally, told Dawn News.

In a resolution shared with UN officials, the protesters urged the world body to persuade Pakistan to make laws to end future attacks on minorities.

The resolution dem­a­n­d­ed legislation to stop the misuse of blasphemy laws, and to end the practice of using blasphemy allegations for personal interests. It also urged the United Nations to play its role in guaranteeing religious freedom and to stop forced conversions, reports Dawn News.

“We feel insecure in our own homeland,” Ziba Gill, another Pakistani Christian activist, told Dawn News.

Gill said: “We are now seeking protection from the United Nations.”

Recently, the properties of several poor families were burnt down, damaged and looted and 21 churches were ransacked during rampage in Jaranwala.
