He was later found hanging dead from the branch of tree only a short distance from where his uncle\u2019s buffaloes would go out to graze.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">  Despite medical evidence that Zeeshan had been sexually molested and some witnesses implicating two unknown Muslim men, local Police initially registered Zeeshan\u2019s death as natural and not suspicious. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">  The Deputy Superintendent of Sadar Police constabulary, Saleem Warraich has stated that Zeeshan died of a heart <span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">attack, which he claims was induced by drinking a soft drink after eating fruit.<\/span><\/span><br \/>\n    <span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">&nbsp;The crass statement was made during a press conference with national media groups including Duniya News and Express News.         <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/medical.jpg\"> <br \/> <\/span><br \/>\n    <span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">BPCA obtained a copy of the post-mortem examination. The part highlighted in yellow describes a dilated anus and other tell tale signs of sodomy. There<br \/>\n        is a belief that local Government Ministers and Police are in cahoots with a paedophile ring. Our officer met with the family and the local community<br \/>\n        and uncovered this more sinister plot. We now know that other children are complaining about sexual abuse and it is believed that Zeeshan was killed<br \/>\n        for threatening to tell his parents. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">  Despite forensic evidence and a few witnesses local police has made little progress towards resolving the case.  After pressure from the BPCA, local church Christ Assemblies International and Bishop Farhad Bhatti of Pakistan Christian Post, the local police authority agreed to register a First Incident Report (FIR). <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">  Senior House Officer (SHO Farooq Ranja) and  DSP Saleem Warraich have assured our local officer Kanwal Amar that the FIR will be filed after the DNA report is received. The DNA report is scheduled after one month.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">  Kanwal Amar Lead reporter for the British Pakistani Christian Association, said:<\/span><\/p>\n<p> <span style=\"color: rgb(79, 129, 189); font-size: 16px;\">\u201cThis family are deeply traumatised.  They have lost a son to an extremely heinous crime and the chance for them to get justice is limited. The manner in which police officers have attempted to camouflage this crime has hurt and angered them.  They are calling for an independent inquiry into the handling of their son\u2019s death.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">  Wilson Chowdhry, Chairman of the BPCA, said:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: rgb(79, 129, 189); font-size: 16px;\">  \u201cThe brutal nature of the crimes inflicted on Christians in Pakistan is the product of their vulnerability and the warped minds that breed in the nation.  The levels of rape, sodomy and murder in Pakistan are reaching unprecedented levels.  Christians and other minorities are a natural target as they are disenfranchised by the country\u2019s laws and statutes, which confer second-class citizenship upon them.  In the main Christians are poor, illiterate and hold a pariah status culminating in an ineffectual response from statutory authorities when help is needed, who deem them worthless. No amount of laws can ever change a deeply entrenched community mindset that believes Christians are anathema \u2013 so crimes like this will continue and justice will fail time after time.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 28px;\">Please sign our petition <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.petitionbuzz.com\/petitions\/stop-child-abduction-for-human-and-organ-trafficking-in-paki\" style=\"font-size: 28px;\">(click here)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">   The funeral of Zeeshan took place on 24<\/span><sup style=\"font-size: 16px;\">th<\/sup><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\"> August and  BPCA have offered to compensate the family  for the cost of the funeral.
