It is first occasion that any organization have taken lead to highlight situation of Pakistani Christian on any UN forum in Geneva.
The Muslim militants have frequent attacks on Christians in recent months in Pakistan on accusation of blasphemy. The hundreds of Christian homes were destroyed and Churches desecrated by radical Muslims in Punjab province of Pakistan.
The Christian children and women were burnt alive and scores gunned down in recent violence and attack by Islamic militants.
The Christian youth presented horrified stories of attacks on homes and properties of Christians in Pakistan and complained about their voting rights in Pakistan.
The repeal of blasphemy law was voiced in meeting of delegates on non-governmental organizations and diplomats in Human Right Council of UN.
