London: June 25, 2016. (PCP) 19 year old Nadeem Masih had been working for in excess of 12 months at a brick kiln, located at Chuniyaan District in the city of Kasur. Before beginning work at the kiln Nadeem Masih had agreed a figure of 962 Pak-rupees for every 1000 bricks he made, however his employer Hajji Musa was only paying 800 Pak-rupees per 1000 bricks. On hearing his request Mr Musa started to insult Nadeem, he shouted: "You dirty choora [derogatory term for Christians meaning sweeper] Christian. How dare you demand anything for me. Your kind are not fit to lick the dirt from my shoes." Mr Musa called the site supervisors Amjad Ali and Muhammed Latif and together the three men brutally beat Nadeem Masih. He was kicked, punched and beaten with a stick. The beating took place in front of all the other Christian slaves who were also shouted at. They were told how 'worthless they were' and not to try and demand wages in a similar fashion. Nadeem was then held down as all his hair and his moustache [a symbol of masculinity in Pakistan] was shaved off. But this was not the end of the beleaguered young mans humiliation. Mr Musa had instructed his two supervisors to force Nadeem to stand on one leg in the centre of the brick kiln courtyard, moreover every time Nadeem's raised leg fell to the ground he was to be beaten. Amjad Ali and Muhammed Latif are said to have reveled in their duties and beat Nadeem severely every time the leg fell, gruelling a punishment that lasted the full course of 5 hours. During the time of the attack the temperature in the courtyard was said to be close to 50 degrees centigrade, forcing Nadeem to collapsed with fatigue at the end of his ordeal. Nadeem took his complaint to the local police who dismissed his claim informing him that Christian slaves had no right to seek justice from the Police force, against their Muslim masters. They cuffed Nadeem took him back to his tormentors where he was beaten again and told not to try approaching the Police for help again, or they would entangle him in a fabricated allegation of sexual assault or murder him. Having nowhere to go, Nadeem Masih and his family members protested in front of the City Police Station in Chuniyaan and demanded justice. BPCA's Naveed Masih, met with Nadeem and offered help recognizing the plight he was in. Brick kiln workers do not realize the danger they are in when they sign their contract of slavery with their masters. They take on a small loan and agree to pay a part of the back through their labour and receipt of a small payment. However the contracts inevitably allow irrevocable rights to the employer to alter wages at their whim, increase their hours of duty and to beat their slaves at will with the signed consent of the victim. Despite laws since 1992 that outlaw bonded Labour the practice has grown and proliferated. It is estimated that 90% of all bonded Labourers are Christian. Close to a figure of 1,000,000 slaves are employed in the brick kilns and a further 700,000 face the same fate in carpet factories and other brutally archaic industries. Nadeem Masih, spoke to us about his situation: "This attack has left me terrified I believe I will be killed. But I am not willing to accept this brutality or allow my employer to get away with cheating me. His men beat me an cursed me they insulted the Lord Jesus and I am determined to seek justice for their brutality. I know God will have his own divine retribution for their disgusting things they said about Him." Naveed Masih, said: "This attack is another example of the pariah status of Christians. Many Christians live whole lives of debauchery and brutality at the hands of Muslim's in Pakistan. Nadeem Masih has been brave and has spoken out, many his position would have suffered in silence and sadness. I ask for prayer that we can get justice for this brave man who deserves our total support." Wilson Chowdhry, Chairman of the BPCA, said: "Only a Christian in Pakistan can suffer such brutality and the rejection from the police. In my opinion justice will be thwarted and the policemen who took a bribe to return the slave to their master will never be prosecuted or disciplined. Their is a casual acceptance of corruption in Pakistan that has developed inexorable impunity for perpetrators of crimes against Christians. They are anathema in a population that is taught to hate them from every child's first day at school. If nothing is done to stem this tide of hatred I predict only 'rivers of blood'."
