Federal Court Decision: Ongoing Persecution of Christians in Pakistan

Today, Pakistan’s Federal Court delivered a decision that highlights the ongoing injustice and unequal treatment faced by Christian communities. The court addressed cases involving underage Christian girls being forced into marriages with non-Christians, sometimes Muslims, which is a severe violation of their rights and lives. This ruling is clear evidence that Christians in Pakistan are not treated as equal citizens—they continue to face oppression, suffering, and harassment, yet there is no one to listen to their cries.
This injustice is not limited to ordinary citizens; the legal and administrative system often fails to act in favor of the victims. Courts, authorities, and government institutions frequently side with oppressors while ignoring the pleas of the persecuted.
What is even more disheartening is that many influential leaders and pastors publicly claim that Christians are “prosperous” and “secure,” which is entirely false. The truth is that Christian communities live under fear, pain, and constant pressure, simply because of their faith.
This is not just a legal issue; it is a human rights crisis. The international community, human rights organizations, and concerned citizens must recognize the persecution faced by Christians in Pakistan. These innocent victims deserve justice, protection, and a voice in a system that continually ignores them.
