In America we have laws against abusing the elderly, in Pakistan it doesn't matter how old you are especially if you are being accused by a radical Muslim who believes you've attacked the prophet Muhammad, you will be jailed.
Sadly, this is exactly what has happened to Rehmat Masih who was accused under Pakistan’s controversial blasphemy laws.
Compass Direct is reporting...
Section 295-C states that “whoever by words, either spoken or written, or by visible representation, or by imputation, innuendo, or insinuation, directly or indirectly, defiles the sacred name of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) shall be punishable with death, or imprisonment for life, and shall be liable to fine.”
Christian sources said Masih, who suffers from arthritis, is 85 years old, though the First Information Report against him lists his age as 73.
Please pray for our brother as he undergoes this trial for the sake of Christ. More at Compass Direct.
