John, I know I don't usually write to you on a Sunday afternoon, but this young Christian will hang for his Christian faith unless we can get his death sentence overturned. Shahzad was only 16 years old when they first accused him of blasphemy. Now he's been sentenced to death by hanging after a radical Muslim group manufactured the charges against him and pressured the judge into having him executed. But Shahzad is not alone. Christians in Pakistan face unthinkable atrocities for their faith, and the judicial system often ignores the facts and the law and caves to angry Muslim mobs. Our legal team on the ground in Pakistan has appealed, recently filing an emergency motion to expedite his case, but the court has once again POSTPONED his hearing. Now we've just filed a critical written submission to the U.N. on his behalf. Our senior legal team is preparing to travel to Geneva again to present an oral intervention at the U.N. Human Rights Council to defend Christians from execution in Pakistan. We're expanding our legal efforts, but we have a major problem. This massive global legal effort for the persecuted Church requires immense resources. We urgently need your Tax-Deductible support today. Have your gift DOUBLED before our Life & Liberty Drive Deadline in just 3 days. Have Your Gift Doubled To Defend Dying Christians. It's the ultimate human rights violation. As we take Shahzad's case all the way to Pakistan's Supreme Court – where we have successfully helped free Christians on death row before – we need you to take action with us before it is too late for Shahzad. Sign Petition: Free Christian From Impending Death.
