Concerning the shameful manner in which many Pakistani Christians and ‘Others’ are denied asylum in the UK, Nasir Saeed notes that:

 If any Westerner has any doubt as to the severity of the situation, they need only consider the accusation of blasphemy levelled against an 8^th grade pupil at a school near Abbottabad because she misspelled a word in a class test. The school’s decision to expel her only proves the extent to which the blasphemy laws are being misused. Yet, the British Government appears almost determined not to let any asylum seeker in, no matter how desperate or endangered their lives back home are. From the moment they submit their application for

asylum, Pakistani Christians have a tough time convincing the Border Agency that returning to their homeland is life threatening.

A song from Prison

Today, to remember Younis Masih, who has been in prison under death sentence for blasphemy for so long, and whose appeal is coming up, we publish a song he wrote in prison, to lift faith, and to cause us to pray for this man of God.

I will dance with joy, I will dance and sing, 

I will celebrate happiness.

My faith is very strong, my eyes are fixed 

upon the Lord Christ, He is glorious like God.

I will tell this to all: He gave me salvation, 

He is above all, He defeated death. I will follow Him.

He keeps our trust unfailingly. 

His kindness is upon us, He gave His life for us, 

I will sing songs of praise.

Younis has no fear of death. 

I work for Christ, I will die for Him, 

and I will rise from the grave
