John,
A Christian has been sentenced to execution by hanging for his faith.
TODAY we are personally going to the U.N. to demand his freedom.
Shahzad was just a 16-year-old boy when he was arrested and maliciously accused of blasphemy. Now he will be executed for his Christian faith. Our legal team on the ground in Pakistan has appealed his wrongful conviction.
But he's not alone. Christians in Pakistan face growing mob violence, beatings, enslavement, and extrajudicial hangings. Being a Christian in Pakistan can lead to death. This is the stark reality.
TODAY we are personally delivering a vital oral intervention directly before the entire U.N. Human Rights Council, demanding Shahzad's release. And TOMORROW we're hosting an EMERGENCY meeting at the U.N. in Geneva with the U.N. Special Rapporteur on Freedom of Religion or Belief – demanding international action to save Christians in Pakistan and Nigeria, before it's too late.
But as we diligently work to rescue Christians from death, we urgently need your Tax-Deductible support. Have your gift DOUBLED. $5 becomes $10; $20 becomes $40. We can't continue defending Christians without you.
Have Your Gift Doubled To Defend Dying Christians.
For many, finances may be tight, but you can still go with us to the U.N. by adding your name to our vital petition today.
Sign Our Petition: Save Christian From Execution in Pakistan.
