London march protests murder of Pakistani Christians
By Dibin Samuel, Christian Today
Pakistani Christians living in the UK will today hold a peaceful rally to protest the murder of two Christian brothers outside a courthouse in Faisalabad, Pakistan, last week.
The rally, organised by the British Pakistani Christian Association and supported by the South Asian Forum of the Evangelical Alliance, will condemn the recent killings and demand the repeal of blasphemy laws that have led to violence against minorities in the Muslim-majority country.
Christian leaders, rights activists and representatives of other religion will join the rally led by the former Bishop of Rochester, the Rt Rev Michael Nazir Ali.
"We want to raise voice for those that have no voice. We are joining with people of all faiths to bring pressure for cultural and social change in Pakistan," said Wilson Chowdhry of the British Pakistani Christian Association.
