John,
I've got some really dark news. And we need your help.
This young Christian will hang for his Christian faith unless we can get his death sentence overturned.
JUST HOURS AGO, we took emergency action at the U.N.
Shahzad was only 16 years old when he was first accused 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 ordering his execution.
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, but the court has once again POSTPONED his hearing. Yesterday, we just filed an emergency written submission to the U.N. on Shahzad's behalf. And our senior legal team is preparing to once again travel to Geneva to present an oral intervention at the U.N.
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 through our Life & Liberty Drive.
Have Your Gift Doubled To Defend Dying Christians.
As we take Shahzad's case to Pakistan's Supreme Court – where we've saved Christians from execution before – we're looking for 1,000 more people to sign our petition TODAY to help save this young Christian from impending death.
Sign Petition: Free Christian From Impending Death.
