Pakistan Church Wants Government To Intervene In Kidnapping Case

By Howard M. Friedman

ADVERTISEMENTS
Religious Intelligence reports today that the Lahore Diocese of the Church of Pakistan has asked the government to intervene in the case of two Christian girls, aged 10 and 14, who in June were kidnapped and forced to convert to Islam. The older girl was also forced to marry. The girl's parents filed a habeas corpus petition in Muzaffargarh seeking their release. However, on July 12 a local judge denied the petition ruling that since the girls had become Muslims, they could not be returned to their Christian parents. The decision has been appealed to the Multan bench of the Lahore High Court.
