The National Commission for Justice and Peace (NCJP), an initiative of Pakistan\u2019s Catholic bishops, told Fides that they were disappointed<br \/>\nthat the church attackers have not been punished.<br \/>\n<br \/>Also left unpunished were the approximately 112 Muslims who were arrested for ransacking, looting, and setting fire to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.christianitytoday.com\/gleanings\/2013\/march\/drunken-quarrel-between-friends-sparks-pakistans-biggest.html\">more than 100 homes<\/a>in<br \/>\nJoseph Colony in 2013. The court found them innocent despite eyewitnesses and videos of the attack, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.worldwatchmonitor.org\/2017\/01\/4895473\/\">reported<\/a>World<br \/>\nWatch Monitor.<br \/>\n<br \/>\u201cThe evidence was not enough to prove the crime,\u201d said judge Chaudhry Muhammad Azam.<br \/>\n<br \/>Cecil Shane Chaudhry, executive director of the NCJP, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ucanews.com\/news\/pakistan-court-acquits-106-in-christian-attack-case\/78237\">told<\/a>UCA<br \/>\nNews, a Hong Kong-based outlet focused on Asian Catholics, that the Joseph Colony ruling was \u201cquite upsetting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBasically, this means that, despite video footage, documents, and pictures of thousands rampaging through Christian properties, the court has not found<br \/>\nanyone guilty,\u201d he said. \u201cSo mobs are free to do whatever they want.\u201d<br \/>\n<br \/>The two cases from Lahore, the second-largest city in Pakistan, stand in stark contrast to the promise of Pakistan\u2019s prime minister last month that the<br \/>\ncountry will soon \u201cbetter the lives of minority groups.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Also belying his announcement was the Sindh governor\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/indianexpress.com\/article\/world\/sindh-guv-returns-minorities-bill-against-forced-conversion-4463510\/\">rejection<\/a>of<br \/>\na bill which would have prohibited forced religious conversions; the lack of movement on steps demanded by the former chief justice of the Supreme Court<br \/>\nof Pakistan for the protection of religious minorities; and the fact that while the 12 legislative seats reserved for women in the National Assembly was<br \/>\nincreased to 60 in 2012, the seats reserved for religious minorities remains only 10, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.worldwatchmonitor.org\/2017\/01\/4895477\/\">according<\/a>to<br \/>\nWorld Watch Monitor.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, a recently proposed <a href=\"http:\/\/www.asianews.it\/news-en\/Pakistan-soon-to-outlaw-mob-violence-and-forced-conversions-of-minorities-39873.html\">national law<\/a>that<br \/>\nmakes lynching and forced conversions <a href=\"http:\/\/www.claas.org.uk\/news\/new-law-to-curb-sectarianism-protect-minorities-passed\/\">illegal<\/a> hasn\u2019t<br \/>\nbeen greeted with a lot of optimism, even though it has been passed by the National Assembly and awaits the prime minister\u2019s signature.<br \/>\n<br \/>\u201cThere are already laws that could be implemented in cases of mob violence, but they are rarely enacted, and when done so fail due to frightened witnesses<br \/>\nabsenting themselves from court,\u201d <a href=\"http:\/\/www.britishpakistanichristians.org\/blog\/new-law-passed-in-hope-of-improving-conditions-for-minorities-living-in-pakistan\">stated<\/a>Wilson<br \/>\nChowdhry, chairman of the British Pakistani Christian Association. \u201cIt is the implementation of the laws that is the crux of the problem, with a lack of<br \/>\ndesire from police due to a rife bribery culture and animosity towards \u2018ritually impure\u2019 Christians.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In other words, any progress that seems to be made on paper doesn\u2019t make it to the pavement.

His entire family was taken into custody.<\/p>\n<p>The charges couldn\u2019t be more serious. Asia Bibi has been on death row for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.christianitytoday.com\/gleanings\/2016\/october\/asia-bibi-pakistan-supreme-court-blasphemy-death-sentence.html\">seven years<\/a>for<br \/>\n    allegedly asking several Muslim women what Muhammad did for them. Sawan Masih, whose accuser <a href=\"http:\/\/www.csw.org.uk\/2017\/2\/1\/press\/3444\/article.htm\">sparked<\/a>the<br \/>\n    Lahore attacks, has also been sentenced to death.<\/p>\n<p>Masih maintains his innocence, saying the accusation was a way for the Muslim man to seize his land, a common motivation for blasphemy accusations<br \/>\n    in Pakistan.<\/p>\n<p>Aware that blasphemy laws are often used to settle land disputes or personal feuds, Pakistan\u2019s government recently attempted to take a look at its<br \/>\n    blasphemy laws. The Senate\u2019s Committee on Human Rights recommended offering bail to those accused of blasphemy and prohibiting police officers with<br \/>\n    lower ranks than superintendents from investigating the cases.<\/p>\n<p>But Pakistan\u2019s Minister for Religious Affairs, Sardar Muhammad Yousuf, denied that any changes would be made.<br \/>\n    <br \/>\u201cWe have no plan to diversify or modify the blasphemy law,\u201d he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mnnonline.org\/news\/pakistani-leaders-deny-review-blasphemy-law\/\">stated<\/a>.<br \/>\n    \u201cThe present democratic government is fully determined and affirms to implement the existing law in true spirit. It has no concoction to make any change<br \/>\n    in the blasphemy law.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In fact, Interior Minister Chaundhry Nisar Ali Khan went so far as to say religious minorities are not being unfairly affected by the blasphemy laws,<br \/>\n    since about three-quarters of the charges are brought against Muslims.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHis contrived results have failed to recognize that Christians in recent years have become the No. 1 target of blasphemy allegations,\u201d Chowdhry<br \/>\n    <a href=\"http:\/\/www.britishpakistanichristians.org\/blog\/interior-minister-of-pakistan-has-lost-all-sense-of-reality-regarding-minority-persecution\">stated<\/a>. \u201cIt is our belief that a large proportion of the 26 percent of blasphemy convictions listed against minorities will have sentenced Christians,<br \/>\n        yet we contribute only 1.6 percent of the entire national population. &hellip; If this is how the rest of the government feels, then I believe<br \/>\n        hope for Christians in Pakistan has reached its lowest ebb.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Open Doors ranked Pakistan <a href=\"https:\/\/www.opendoorsusa.org\/christian-persecution\/world-watch-list\/pakistan\/\">No. 4<\/a> on its 2017 list of<br \/>\n        the worst places to live as a Christian.
