An emergency meeting of Pakistani Christians has been called in Luton by Yaqub Masih Athwal (Chairman Pakistan Christian Concern), in which various options will be considered.

There is a strong possibility of a protest March in London by the UK based Pakistani Christians, and similar protests are expected in other Western countries. I personally would like to encourage our Pakistani Christians brethren in USA, Canada, Europe and Australia to stage protests in front of Pakistan Embassies in these countries.

I would also request you to write letters to your elected representatives, and even arrange to meet them in delegations for sharing your concern for the Talibanization of Pakistan and the inability of the Pakistani Government to protect the religious minorities.

Let us work together for the sake of our suffering brothers and sisters in Pakistan.

Sincerely,

Asif Mall
Secretary General
Pakistan Christian Ideology Council-UK
