Justice for Binish Paul
In August of 2018, a young Christian and student of 10th class by the name of Binish Paul of Karachi was severely injured in a deliberate attack by a Muslim man. Tahir Abbas, a young Muslim who lived near her approached the parents of Binish and asked them for her hand in marriage. Her parents declined his offer, citing their religious differences. Angered by their refusal, Tahir confronted Binish and requested that she convert to Islam so they can marry. Binish refused, stating she did not believe in Islam and did not love him. In a fit of rage, Tahir threw Binish off the roof of the building, severely injuring her legs.
Though the police took a report on the incident, they initially did not arrest Tahir as he soon began bribing the police and baying the medical doctors to change their reports so they did not reveal that he was responsible for Binish's injuries. It also didn't take long before Tahir began threatening Binish's family. The authorities finally began to take action when Muslim social activist Jibran Nisar revealed that Tahir is heavily involved in the an an operation within the country that engages in the trafficking young women. Sadly, this is a plight that befalls many minority women in Pakistan, who are at constant risk of being kidnapped and forced into marriage against their will. Even if they're not victim of outright kidnapping, Christian women are often often subject physically assault and even murder if they refuse marriage proposals from Muslim men. Please pray for Binish and all Pakistani women who suffer from these senseless acts of violence.
