(Pakistan)–Next, International Christian Concern reports that a Pakistani court has upheld the death sentence against a Christian. Local sources report that the blasphemy charges against Ayub Masih were false and resulted from a land dispute against the man’s family. ICC adds that Pakistan’s blasphemy laws have been repeatedly misused especially against non-Muslim minorities such as the Christians. Please pray for the safety of other believers in the country.
