Pakistan: girl raped

Saira Iqbal

The Christian community in Pakistan is campaigning for justice for a seven-year-old Christian girl who was gang-raped by four Muslim men on April 23.

Her father was abducted to stop the family from pressing charges.

Saira Iqbal was attacked in the Punjab province. She was taken to hospital and received treatment in the intensive care unit but is now said to be in a stable condition. A gang of Muslims kidnapped her father, Iqbal Masih, to try to force him to reach an agreement with his daughter’s rapists. He was freed by police after two days in captivity.
