LONDON’S Green MEP Jean Lambert has condemned yesterday’s suicide bombings
in Pakistan which killed more than 80 people.  She sent the following response to the BPCA after a call for action from Europe:


Ms Lambert, Chair of the European Parliament’s delegation to South Asia, including Pakistan, has called for better protection for religious minorities in the country following the two blasts – both outside a church in Peshawar.


She said: "These killing are an absolute tragedy, and all our thoughts arewith the families and friends of those killed and injured."

But they are just the latest attack on minorities in the country, and they underline the need for more state protection and better local measures to promote greater understanding between followers of different faiths – 
and none.
