John,
He was a 16-year-old Christian kid when they falsely accused him of blasphemy, and now he will hang for his faith.
You've heard Shahzad's story of being a Christian in Pakistan. Despite the authorities admitting no crime was committed, the judge succumbed to radical Islamic pressure and sentenced this young Christian to hang.
Shahzad isn't alone. Christians in Pakistan face growing mob violence, enslavement, and death. And Pakistan does nothing to protect them.
We recently 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 can only continue fighting to save the lives of persecuted Christians like Shahzad with your support.

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 Christian lives – we urgently need you with us.
