- ISIS militants, using machetes and rifles, slaughtered more than 80
Christians....ISIS emphasized the religious identity of its victims in a
post, saying that "Caliphate soldiers" killed
"Christians." According to one report, many of the slain were
"very young" and were targeted for "refusing to convert
into Islam".... some bodies were found "tied up" and
"decapitated." – premierchristian.news, June 18, 2024, Democratic
Republic of Congo.
- In Lahore Pakistan, authorities arrested Jameela Khatoon, a
62-year-old mentally ill Christian woman, after a Muslim shopkeeper,
Muhammad Asif, complained that she had committed blasphemy against his
namesake, the prophet of Islam. Jameela is being charged under Section
295-C of Pakistan's Penal Code, which carries a mandatory death sentence
for those who insult Muhammad. Earlier that day, after Jameela had entered
Asif's shop, they argued about shampoo. – britishasianchristians.org, June

handed out another death sentence to Ehsan Masih, a 27-year-old Christian
man, for allegedly sharing a "blasphemous" video against
Muhammad on a social media platform. – morningstarnews.org, June 7, 2024, Pakistan.
- [A]n impoverished Christian rickshaw driver, [Dennis Albert], is
facing a long prison sentence, possibly for life, for stepping out of his
carriage onto some papers alleged to have been pages of the Koran. –
morningstarnews.org, June 18, 2024, Pakistan.
- "Dennis has studied till 10th grade, but he had no clue that
the pages he was standing on had religious value. He's a simple rickshaw
driver earning an honorable livelihood for himself. He did not have any
intention of hurting religious sentiments of any person or community...
He's losing hope for his freedom. He's being kept in a special barrack
reserved for blasphemy accused..." – Imran Albert, the rickshaw
driver's brother, morningstarnews.org, June 18, 2024, Pakistan.
- "Typically kidnapped girls in Pakistan, some as young as 10,
are abducted, forced to convert to Islam and raped under cover of such
Islamic 'marriages' and are then pressured to record false statements in
favor of the kidnappers, rights advocates say. Judges routinely ignore
documentary evidence related to the children's ages, handing them back to
kidnappers as their 'legal' wives." -- morningstarnews.org, July 9,
2024, Pakistan.
- [A] Muslim factory owner tortured his Christian employee to death --
Waqas Salamat, age 18 -- for refusing to continue working for him....
Muhammad instantly sent some factory workers to collect him; they bound
his hands and feet and carried him to Muhammad's factory. There, Muhammad,
his son, and several Muslim employees began torturing Waqas for
hours—beating him with pipes and administering electric shocks to him—until
he died. He was the main breadwinner for his impoverished family.
According to his mother, Rubina.
- "Our financial condition is such that we didn't even have
enough money to arrange for his burial... Waqas was my beloved son and my
biggest support. He would often tell me that he'll work very hard to make
life easier for us...." -- morningstarnews.org, June 11, 2024, Pakistan.
