(PCP) 20 million Pakistani Christians and Pakistani Christian Diaspora in Europe and Canada observed “Black Day” on August 11, 2010, with organizing rallies, protests and prayer gathering demanding repeal of blasphemy law and to stop killing of innocent Christians in Pakistan. The government of Pakistan have announced to celebrate August 11, as Minority Day in year 2009, but it was marked as “Black Day” by Christians on atrocities against them by government legislation and attacks on their properties and lives from Islamic extremist groups under supervision of Punjab government.
