Members of the European Parliament condemned violence and persecution against Christians in Syria, Pakistan and Iran in a resolution passed on October 10.
They expressed particular concern about attacks on Christians in Maaloula, Syria, and the suicide bombing of All Saints Church in Peshawar, Pakistan. They called on the Pakistani government to overhaul the blasphemy laws, noting that these were open to misuse, and urged the Iranian authorities to acquit and release jailed pastor Saeed Abedini.
