Forced Conversion of Hindu Girl- No Police Response By Advocate Veerji Kolhi And Zemira Eli Natan

Udero Lal (District Matyari Sindh) is a small city in Sindh and considerered as a tolerant focal point.  On October 21, 2014 at 11pm , three armed men entered the city and pillaged.  They held 12 year old girl, Kajal daughter of Mohan Bheel hostage and threatened the family.  They threatened to kill the girl if the family reacted.  They added to this threat by saying that they would leave the girl with the robed ones.  Bheel's family reported the robbery and the kidnapping to the police.   There was no police response, and the police were not cooperative while taking the report from the family.  Three days later the police received a Nikha Nama by post.  They claimed that the girl had converted to Islam.   Still police are silent about this missing girl and they have taken no action.
--Advocate Veerji Kolhi--

THIS IS ONE OF MANY EXAMPLES OF WHAT OCCURS IN PAKISTAN FOR THE PURPOSE OF FORCED CONVERSION TO ISLAM.  THESE YOUNG GIRLS AND THEIR FAMILIES ARE RENDERED HELPLESS BECAUSE THEY RECEIVE NO PROTECTION FROM LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES OR THEIR GOVERNMENT BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT CONSIDERED CITIZENS OF THEIR OWN COUNTRY.  IUFE DEMANDS THE IMMEDIATE RELEASE OF THIS YOUNG GIRL AND THAT SHE BE RETURNED SAFELY TO HER FAMILY.

Blasphemy Impact On Minorities From Pakistan On Foreign Shores Part 3 By Zemira Eli Natan

There are 2 banners which present blasphemy law in Pakistan.  There are numbers of banners and posters all over in Pakistan regarding this matter. According to these banners it does not show that only Ahmadi's are in danger in Pakistan.This law applies to all minorities. Christians ,Hindus and all non-Muslims are the targeted prey of this extremism. It is known worldwide that the Netherlands is a free country with equal rights.Though in one survey I found IND(Immigratie-en Naturalisatiedienst) only considers Ahmadi as a victim of this black law instead of Christians and other minorities. Though this law applies in the same way. Whosoever is the victim of blasphemy cannot live or survive a single day in Pakistan in freedom. There are numerous Christians in Netherlands with whom I spoke.They explained to me that since they left Pakistan the situation became worse for their family and friends. Some names are given below of those who have been treated badly by IND,and Court. KamranSimonSaif,ManghtMasih,Kashif,
PastorSunny,Tariq,andShehzada These are some names which discriminate in asylum procedure in the Netherlands.Their stories show their life is in danger in Pakistan even though many churches,organizations even in some cases, Government of Pakistan also sent some documents but IND and court still declines their cases. Worldwide evaluation submitted a rank list in those countries where Christians are in danger and in 2014 Pakistanis on number 8 though in 2013 Pakistan was on number14. It can clearly be seen how rapidly in one year how much the threat in Pakistan to Christians and other religious minorities has increased. Please visit this link:

in Netherlands. Are they safe enough that they will not send these victims back to Pakistan to die?

The Blasphemy Law

"Religion is like a pair of shoes, find one that fits for you but don't force others to wear your shoes."
-GeorgeCarlin-

Non-Muslims cannot live safely and freely in Islamic lands.They have never had equal rights in Islamic lands. I have reviewed long surveys and have noticed that Pakistan is becoming a worse place to live for religious minorities,especially for Christians and Hindus. The Blasphemy law is a major source for attacking religious minorities in Pakistan. Pakistani Muslims do not regard Christians, Hindus  or other religious minorities as human beings. It is not important to have a religion other than being a Muslim in Pakistan.Living in Pakistan.There is no such thing as equal rights for Non-Muslims.If you are Non-Muslim, then the consequences are surely dangerous for you. Each day Christians receive many threats all over this world, but the majority of threats are  given by Islamic militants and the  Pakistani Government are one of a kind of Islamic state in which its constitution gives religious freedom to non-Muslims, but these rights only exist on paper. In Pakistan, Christians and other religious minorities are not considered citizens of the country. The Blasphemy law is AK-47 in Pakistan, and the government agencies provide these weapons to promote radicalism.Therefore, they can receive millions and millions of dollars to help claim that they have war against extremism. The whole drama opens when Christian and Hindu  young girls are abducted and no action is taken by any law enforcement.Christian businessmen were threatened to convert toIslam and Non-Muslim women are frequently raped,forced into marriages with Muslims for the purpose of converting them to Islam.At the workplace, everyday, Christians received dawat-e-Islam (invitation to convert to Islam).Life is very hard and it's difficult for all the minorities. Al Jazeera is a Muslim news network;however they do publish their special report about Christians living in fear under Pakistan's Blasphemy law.(Publish date:17/05/2014) Al Jazeera also stated that it is highly dangerous if any human rights organizations try to help them. They are also threatened by some extremist groups.

Recently Rashid Rehman, one human rights advocate was killed when he started supporting one Christian person Junaid who was accused of committing blasphemy. Advocate Rehman's co-worker Ali said despite the fact that it was difficult to prove blasphemy allegations, and lower court judges-often under threat themselves-felt pressure to convict.
1
  Who can help Christians and support them while the human rights organizations, lawmakers, and even the court judges are threatened?
2
If Christians become victims of blasphemy only death is waiting?
3 If some how these victims survive and succeed to escape from Pakistan,and land

Blasphemy Impact on Minorities From Pakistan On Foreign Shores Part 4 By Zemira Eli Natan

Pakistani Christians asylum seekers are in search of freedom and equal rights in the Netherlands too, but there is no one who can stand for them. Even the media is silent. The entire internet is full of news and radicalism which proves that Christians are in grave danger,but whosoever escapes from Pakistan,they are not happy because Netherlands wants them dead.That is why they want to send them back.Or perhaps they have some hidden agenda or the departments IND and courts are also controlled by Muslims. My closing statement is not giving me a happy feeling because Pakistani Christians are suffering in Pakistan and also in the Netherlands.
