<p>We the undersigned are writing to you urgently about the case of the 16 year old Christian Nabeel Masih from near Kasur, Punjab, FIR 487/16. We are deeply concerned about the grave injustice and appalling police behaviour in this case. This young man has been charged with blasphemy for something someone else did on Facebook that appeared in his Facebook feed, and not only have the police tortured him into a false confession when he defended his innocence, but from all accounts they appear to have deliberately destroyed the evidence that would likely prove his innocence. <br /><br />We must tell you that Pakistani has an appalling record for its treatment of its Christian minority, so much so that their situation in Pakistan has been independently ranked as virtually the same as Syria, where ISIS are slaughtering and raping Christians, and this case is a prime example of why, and why the Pakistani police have such an appalling reputation around the world. We urge in the strongest possible terms for Masih to be released and he and his family protected, and for the officers who tortured him and deliberately destroyed evidence be reprimanded and disciplined severely as a deterrent to others.</p><p>Petition created by Wilson ChowdhryChairman of the British Pakistani Christian Association.</p><p><a href="http://www.britishpakistanichristians.org">www.britishpakistanichristians.org</a></p><p> </p><p> </p>
