Rawalpindi: December 31, 2012. (Shamim Masih): Sadly, one of the many ways Christians are persecuted is not only when they are arrested in blasphemy cases but then how badly they are often treated while in prisons in Pakistani jails. In Pakistan we see Christians are being arrested under the different farms of persecutions laws. Cases are planted then turned into their life imprisonment or so. The Christians prisoners are not being treated for medical issues that can be easily treated. According to a Christian’s human rights activist, Safdar Chaudhary from Lahore, Parvaiz Masih son of Shangara Masih died in Central Jail Adayla, Rawalpindi during the past night on December 29 after the suffering from diabetics. A Christian human rights activist in Pakistan asked the prison officials to give this brother medical treatment, but the jail officials refused to give him proper medication, citing security concerns, Safdar added. Few months back his wife died the central hospital, Fawara Chowck, Rawalpindi Pakistan during her imprisonment. The couple died during their imprisonment and left three growing children Danish, Aanan and Hina. Parvaiz and his wife were travelling to their home town and Anti- Narcotics Force (ANF) arrested them under PPC 9-C, a case planted of Hasheesh smuggling and then sent to jail. Pavaiz Masih belongs to Gujranwala, a city in Punjab province. The ANF judgments sentenced them for life imprisons and couple had been in the jail for the last seven years. Pakistani law enforcement agencies don’t have transparent enquiry procedure; in early 2000 ANF arrested Gulshan Masih from slum of Islamabad, which didn’t proved and he seeking asylum in European state with his family. Parvaiz and his wife left three children who really need to be helped. These growing children need education, food stuff and their proper living. Special appeal: These young children are facing challenges of life ahead; your small contribution can help these needy children to grow and survive in the bitter situation of Pakistan.
