Kasur, Pakistan: April 23, 2016. (PCP) A Christian father met with Sardar Mushtaq Gill, human rights defender who heads LEAD an organization which provides free legal aid and advocacy and he requested for legal assistance in his daughter's case of abduction, forced conversion to Islam and marriage with her abductor. On April 14 at about 1:30 am, a Christian girl named Laveeza Bibi aged 23 years was abducted by two Muslims men who entered in home of a Christian man Sarwar Masih at midnight and on gunpoint abducted her daughter and threaten his father and mother who were present at home to kill them if they would make noise. Masih submitted a complaint in local police station against the culprits but the police reluctant to register a case FIR against the abductors on the pretext that the abductee has accepted Islam and married with a Muslim abductor namely Muhammad Talib. On the request of Local Priest Mr. Saleem Masih, DS Pattoki Church of Pakistan, LEAD has taken this case and will provide legal assistance and advocate against forced conversion to Islam and forced marriage. Now the complaint has been filed at DSP Pattoki for initiation of criminal proceeding against the abductor. "Within this month at least five Christian girls have been abducted and converted to Islam and married with their abductors in this village from where this girl has been abducted and no legal protection for them in such issues", told Afzal Masih a local resident of village Jodh Singh Chak No.13 where this incident happened.
