Current situation of the Pakistani Christian victims of blasphemy-related violence: Shamim Masih

By : Shamim Masih

Some 150 Christian families were rendered homeless in Korian and Gojra after their houses were burned by miscreants following rumors that Christians of Korian had committed blasphemy in July of this year. The Christian victims of blasphemy-related violence who had their houses burned at the hands of thugs in July, 2009, are condemned to live in a graveyard in Korian, a village in the Pakistani province of Punjab, and are in a constant state of fear and uncertainty. The Christians of Gojra and Korian are currently living in tents and the latter have put up tents in a graveyard. It is feared that rain could make Christians highly vulnerable to contracting water-borne diseases. Christians live in a state of fear and uncertainty. As their houses were burnt to ashes, the students are without any academic certificates and degrees. It is uncertain to say when they would get their duplicate degrees given the procedural snags in the system. The on-going reconstruction work will be completed in a month time at the most. Christian students in Korian are being threatened that their names would be struck off from the school enrolment register after school examinations. People are in a constant state of fear and uncertainty. As winter approaches, these hapless Christians are without blankets, mattresses, warm clothes, pots and pans and other essentials. In the event of rain they are likely to contract water-borne diseases. It will take a month or so before their torched houses can be completely re-constructed.
