It's that time of month again friends, time to write our prisoner under persecution that VOM has told us about on their Prisoner Alert page.  This prisoner we all have the honor of praying for and writing is named Mr. Amjad Masih and has been imprisoned for 2581 days!

Amjad_masih What was his crime? 

Vagrancy charges and while in police custody, he was accused of burning the Quran (Koran) and charged under Pakistan's blasphemy law.

Are these accusations true?

Amjad insists the police framed him for refusing to pay a bribe. During August 2003, a high court hearing in Lahore endorsed a life sentence for him. While in prison, Amjad has suffered from depression and malaria. He and his wife Kusar have three sons and one daughter. During Lent last year, the two older sons prayed and fasted for their father's release.

We all have an opportunity to encourage Amjad, and to also pray for him.  Click on over to www.prisoneralert.com and take part today.  Tell a friend too!
