Update on the 15th April saddly Nouman passed away from his injuries click here for more<\/a>.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Yesterday Friday 10th<\/sup> April Muslim extremists tried to burn a Christian teenager alive in Lahore.  The boy, 15 year old Nouman Masih,
\nwas shutting up shop in the Tailor\u2019s shop he was working at, at about the time Muslims were going to Friday prayers when two young men came up to him and
\nasked him his religion.  When he said \u2018Christian\u2019 they started to beat him, and when he ran away, they chased him, threw petrol on him and set him
\nalight.  He came across a pile of sand and dirt and dived into it.  Two local Christians came to the rescue and put out the flames, and called
\nan ambulance for the now unconscious Nouman.   Medics say he suffered severe burns, about 55%, but that he should make a good recovery. 
\nAn FIR has been registered and the police have taken Nouman\u2019s statement at the hospital.  Something of the desperate fear Christians are under since
\nthe suicide bombings can be found by the fact that Nouman reported an intuition, a fear, that someone would try and kill him, something that his family
\nand employer had dismissed.  His aunt and uncle, who act as his parents after his father died, were desperately afraid that the police would intimidate
\nhim into changing his statement.  This \u2013 along with fear of the attackers \u2013 may well explain the conflicting statements, even in the same reports,
\nthat said both that the perpetrators were unknown to Nouman, and that he knew who they were.   Reports are that Mr Sharif, Punjab\u2019s Chief Minister,
\nhas \u2018taken note\u2019 of the case. <\/p>\n

\n<\/p>\n

Local Christians say that they have been living under fear because of the hatred against them.  This has massively increased since the double suicide
\n bombings of Lahore churches last month, when a small number of Christians in the immediate aftermath beat and burnt to death two gunmen accomplices
\n of the bombers.  The media and gunman has declared them innocent bystanders, contrary to eyewitness reports at the scene that reported them as
\n opening fire as the bombers went in.  They were initially held by the police, but then seized from them by the killers.  The killing of the
\n two gunmen \u2013 portrayed as innocent Muslim bystanders \u2013 has provided a pretext for the already existing hatred.   Police have been indiscriminately
\n beating and arresting Christians, asking for bribes under the guise of paying \u2018tax\u2019 or \u2018restitution\u2019 for the killings, whilst the deaths of 17 Christians
\n has been downplayed.  They have also targeted a number of Christian rights activists.  Pakistani politicians, say local activists, have said
\n that burning of anyone is a great crime, but have remained largely silent when innocent Christians are burnt alive, such as the young couple thrown
\n alive into a brick kiln in November 2014, but raise a storm in this case.  <\/p>\n
