Two Christians freed after months of torture by Muslim
Qaiser Felix
Sialkot (AsiaNews) – The All Pakistan Minorities Alliance (APMA) has managed to secure the release of two Christian women who were kidnapped and tortured for three months by a Muslim couple of Sialkot who wanted to convert them to Islam. The APMA director, Shabhaz Batti, told AsiaNews about the women and called on the government to “punish those guilty of this atrocious incident as severely as possible.”
Bhatti told how Nasreen Pervez, 40, and her daughter, Razia, 13, “went to the home of Muhammad Ikram, a Muslim of Sialkot, after the death of Nasreen’s husband, Pervaiz, in September.” Pervaiz “ran a poultry breeding farm in Punjab, but his business was struck by bird flu and he got ill and died. After his death, mother and daughter started to work as servants in the residence of Muhammad, their neighbour.”
However, after they had been working there for one month, Muhammad “refused to pay their salary and together with his wife, kidnapped the two women. They tore the crosses from their necks and forbade them to pray. They demanded that the women change their faith and convert to Islam and when they refused, they tortured them.”
At night, “they were chained to prevent them from escaping. Razia’s right foot was injured with the shards of a broken bottle and both had burns on their bodies. One day, Muhammad threatened to kill their relatives if they continued to be hard headed and to refuse to change religion or if they tried to escape.”
He even brought a bottle of acid and a syringe: “You will die with this in your body”. Nasreen responded: “You may kill us but we will not convert.”
After three months, Nasreen’s eldest daughter, Sheeba, went to visit her mother and little sister but Muhammad and his wife chased her away and threatened her: “Don’t come back unless you want to see them dead.” Worried, Sheeba turned to the village elders who contacted APMA.
The association “immediately went to the Lahore High Court and denounced what was going on. The judge ordered the intervention of a court bailiff who, together with our team, freed the two women.”
Bhatti said: “The growing victimization of Christians and minorities in general is alarming. We try to help the families of victims and at the same time, to find legal and practical channels to help those submitted to such violence, but the government must intervene forcefully to stop them.”
He said Christians around the world “can help us with prayer: ask the Lord for protection and justice for those who suffer for their faith.”
Muhammad Ikram kidnapped the woman who used to clean his house together with her 13-year-old daughter. He tortured them for months in a bid to force them to convert to Islam. They were released thanks to the intervention of the Lahore court and the All Pakistan Minorities Alliance.
BTTT for exposure, and a call to prayer!!!!!

This is the first I've heard of this group. I wonder if any charges will be brought against the man.
"Christians around the world 'can help us with prayer: ask the Lord for protection and justice for those who suffer for their faith.'"
Can I pray while I clean my gun? ;)
Pray to the Lord for the release of Muslim people from satan's grip.
What happened to the couple of torturers?
This needs heavy publicity and follow up in the media.
Oh, sorry I forgot.

"..Nasreen Pervez, 40, and her daughter, Razia, 13.."
Two heroic women. Hope that we will have the same courage when we are placed in such a situation. You never know with this cowardly government, the leftists and the ACLU, that the time that this could happen in this country may be sooner than we would like to think.
And don't tell me that you are going down in a hail of bullets firing your AR-15.
Prayer is good, but it must be accompanied by action.
Pakistan courts are based on English common law with provisions to accommodate Pakistan's status as an Islamic state; accepts compulsory International Court of Justice (ICJ) jurisdiction, with reservations
Strict adherence to the koran and Mohammads ways, memorizing them during many years of hypnotic recital while rocking violently back and forth plants it deep into their minds. Only after this is complete are they allowed to learn other things that western education offers, but it is stressed that learning this "evil" is only allowed so that the infidels ways can be used against him to defeat him.
"Show me just what Muhammad brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached,"
-Byzantine emperor, Manuel II Paleologos
Now there's an important prayer. Pray that the Lord opens their mind and eyes so that they can see they have been tricked by Satan into worshiping him.
The compassion of Islam is overwhelming.
This brainwashing is one of the sickest things I've ever seen.
"He said Christians around the world “can help us with prayer: ask the Lord for protection and justice for those who suffer for their faith.”
Christians around the world can help by growing testacles and demanding that Islamic Countries which permit terrorization of Non-Muslims face sanctions and better, hat lead and cold steele.
Brave women. Beautiful to see such committment to the Lord.
Impossible: we all know that it's only the US that tortures people.
