A Christian man was attacked with an axe and another was beaten by locals apparently jealous of their business success.
Nadeem Masih, 24, was attacked last week at his home in Gloria Colony, a
mainly Christian settlement in Sheikhupura, Punjab province. Five heavily armed
local men set upon him, demanding the closure of his brother Waseem’s catering
business. ‘Christians are only cleaners and poor,’ they said. When his mother
tried to help Nadeem, who was badly injured, she was bitten. Police did nothing
when the family sought legal action.
Two days later, the same five men allegedly attacked one of Waseem’s employees – apparently to deter Nadeem from pressing charges. Release Int.
