Mr. Younis Tella and Mr. Nazir Javeed informed CLAAS about a riot in Khaliq Nagar and requested for immediate help

Mr. Younis Tella and Mr. Nazir Javeed informed CLAAS about a riot in Khaliq Nagar and requested for immediate help. CLAAS team including Mr. Joseph Francis, Sohail Habel, Mr. Khokhar and Eiga Kenny reached at the place of occurrence. Large crowd of local Christian residents were gathered outside Arshad Masih’s house. His wife Rubina told the team that their four kids Sehr 10yrs, Sana 13yrs, Sneha 12yrs and Sunil 15yrs were home alone when about 15 men with fire arms broke into their house. The assailant threw their stuff on the street including the Holy Bible and other religious books. Arshad’s sister called 15 and informed the police who arrived immediately. Mr. Francis talked to the Nishtar police station Inspector Ameen who was present on the spot to register a case against the culprits. The crowd was getting angry and demanded to register a Blasphemy case against attackers. Seeing the tense situation Mr. Francis called the Superintendent Police and asked him to send a higher officer to handle the case. Additional Superintendent Police Mr. Maaz Khan arrived with his men. He requested Mr. Francis to speak to the crowd. Talking to the crowd Mr. Joseph Francis said that he will not encourage registration of a Blasphemy case. He said that he is totally against the use of Blasphemy Laws and his struggle is that no one belonging to any religion Christian/Muslim/Hindu should be charged under this discriminatory law. With the consent of the residents an application prepared by CLAAS lawyer Nasir Anjam and signed by Arshad Masih was given to Inspector Ameen for the registration of a case against the attackers.
