This week's persecuted church: Pakistan

Police this month tortured a young Christian woman into revealing the whereabouts of the legal team helping her family after an influential Muslim family kidnapped her and her sister. Police also helped the Muslim family beat the relatives of the Christian woman on court premises and attacked the offices of the organization trying to help her family.

This family is a very influential family of the area, and they had been threatening a repeat of a Gojra carnage if their girl was not returned to them. At least seven Christians were burned alive by Muslim mobs in Gojra after the spread of a rumor of blaspheming Islam on August 1, 2009.

Thought of the Day: Wedding
Song of the Day: f(x)-피노키오 (Danger)
