A group of UK MPs on 24 February urged the Government to adopt a harsher official assessment of Pakistan’s treatment of Christians.

The MPs say UN officials in Thailand, where thousands of Pakistani Christians have sought asylum, are not sufficiently concerned that Christians ‘face a real risk of persecution’ if returned to their home country. As a result the asylum process is prolonged. Meanwhile, Christians languish for years in jobless isolation, dependent on charity and trying to avoid arrest on charges of illegal immigration.
