With the intervention of LEAD the police officer was dismissed from job and Masih was released and discharged from false case. The pressure of landlords accused still on family. In Pakistan minorities are living under fear and they are discriminated on the basis of the religion and culture. They are mostly victims of bounded labour, torture, rape, charges of blasphemy and many others. They are considered lower caste or second class people. We ask for moral support for the continuity of work which LEAD provides in Pakistan.
