Christian family murdered

Okara Christian cemetery, a scene of earlier trouble

A husband and wife, sister in law and two children were murdered in Okara, Punjab province, about 70 km south west of Lahore.  The murders happened on the night of the 22nd May.  Police are investigating, but no arrests so far.  The manner of the families death - they had their throats slit - strongly suggests that this was martyrdom at the hands of Muslim extremists.  Source

Okara has been the scene of several incidents in the past, notably an attempt in June 2009 by Muslim authorities to demolish the Christian cemetery and turn it into recreational park land.  Source - about a third of the way down

Christian family enslaved for 30 years!

An entire Christian family of over 25 people has been enslaved by a Muslim landowner and forced to work on his farm. It happened when 30 years ago the father of the family signed a loan to pay for his daughters wedding, but interest rates reached 500%, meaning the family could not pay it off, so they were forced into a private segregated jail and made to work for the wealthy Muslim landowner. They have only been freed after the intervention of the Roman Catholic church and a court order.

The article also recounts yet another tale of a Christian girl kidnapped and raped, forced into marriage to a Muslim man, who escaped her domestic prison after 2 years.
