Rimsha denied access to lawyer, jailed with Taseer killer

Pakistani Jail

Further reports from Pakistan indicate that her lawyer is being denied access to her repeatedly by prison authorities.  He is being given the run around, while Rimsha's legal rights are being further violated.  In addition, the lying police report says she is 16, no doubt to justify the police's illegal action of putting her into an adult jail.  We ask, just who are the real criminals here?  

Church records show she is just 11.  

In addition, to add insult to injury, not only has this vulnerable child been placed in an adult prison, but it is the very same prison where Mumtaz Qadri, the hero of the Islamists, is imprisoned for killing Taseer, a leading opponent of the blasphemy laws.  

Pakistan, do you know no shame?  To put the innocent child victim of an unjust law in the same jail as the killer of the one who stood up for the rights of the innocent and the oppressed - that truly shows the moral depravity of the Pakistani state.

Secret plea from victim of blasphemy laws

The family of this Pakistani Christian rights activist secretly videoed his plea for help, under the noses of the prison guards.  The interview is from about 0:55 on, and shows the desperate situation and how effective false accusations of blasphemy, particularly against bread-winners.  In addition it tells of the mistreatment (denial of medication, discrimination and torture) he suffers in prison.

In addition BPCA has seen plea's for prayer for the bail hearing of Mr.Khuram Masih, who has been falsely charged with blasphemy and held in prison for 9 months.  His hearing is in Lahore High court on the 28th of August.

Asia Bibi tortured by prison officers

According to a Pakistani newspaper, the Express Tribune, Asia Bibi, the poster-victim of Pakistan's wicked blasphemy laws has been tortured by one of wardens at the Sheikhupura jail where she is imprisoned in solitary confinement awaiting a death sentence for defending her Christian faith. The warden Khadeeja allegedly tortured her after claiming he found 'prohibited items' in her cell. Other prison staff watched and did nothing to stop the attack. (Well, she's only a kuffir Christian, after all.....) Thankfully, it appears that (eventually) the culprit has at least been suspended from duty (for how long, we shall have to see).

Don't forget to pray for Asia Bibi and also her family, who are being threatened and isolated by Islamic militants.

Also, spread the word - facebook this article, etc, and if you haven't already, sign our petition to free Asia Bibi and repeal the abominable blasphemy laws.

And remember your taxpayers money is being used to fund education in this country without adequate (or any?) controls to make sure that it is not used to further marginalize minorities. If that outrages you - and it should - also sign our petition calling on the Foreign Office to actually use aid to promote desperately needed Humanitarian reform in Pakistan
