On Saturday evening, the 12th of February, a man was killed by a mob in the District of Khanewal, Tehsil, Mian Chanu, Pakistan. He was accused of insulting the Koran and then beaten to death with stones and sticks. Later, the crowd dragged his dead body and hung it on a nearby tree.

The man’s only sin was that he was not Muslim. In Pakistan, minorities are not treated as equal citizens, and they are also discriminated against. In the Facebook group Stop Persecution of Christians, Hector Aleem calls the attention of Western countries to this phenomenon and asks for their help. While the West remains silent, Christians and other religious minorities are not safe in Pakistan.
