John, In America, 16 is an exciting age. You can drive. You can get a job. In Pakistan, a 16-year-old Christian can be accused of blasphemy and sentenced to die. Shahzad Masih was arrested for blasphemy at 16 – literally a kid. Now, despite his innocence, he’ll hang for his faith. The judge caved to angry Muslim extremists baying for blood. Our legal team on the ground in Pakistan has been working tirelessly to appeal his wrongful conviction before it’s too late. Shahzad is not alone. Christians in Pakistan face growing mob violence, enslavement, and death. And Pakistan does nothing to protect them. We just returned from delivering oral arguments before the entire U.N. Human Rights Council in Geneva, demanding Shahzad's release. And now we’re preparing to file in Pakistani court to expedite his appeal in just weeks. It will take each of us to defend these persecuted Christians. We're having significant success through our Life & Liberty Drive, but we can only continue fighting to save the lives of persecuted Christians like Shahzad with your support. Have Your Gift Doubled To Defend Dying Christians. Being a Christian should not be a death sentence. Shahzad is our brother in Christ. His life – his freedom – must be defended. As we fight to save his life – and countless other Christians – we urgently need you with us. Sign Now: Save This Young Christian From Execution.
