John,
I've got some really dark and disturbing news. And we need your help.
This young Christian will hang for his Christian faith unless we can get his execution sentence overturned. And now we face an urgent deadline.
Shahzad was only 16 years old when he was falsely 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 having him executed.
But Shahzad is not alone. Pakistani Christians face unimaginable atrocities for their faith, and the judicial system often ignores both 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. We JUST filed an emergency written submission to the U.N. on Shahzad's behalf. And our senior legal team is preparing to travel to Geneva to present an oral intervention at the U.N. Our next critical deadline in the fight for Shahzad's life is in just days.
We're expanding our legal efforts, but we have a major problem. This massive global 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 our young Christian brother from impending death.
Sign Petition: Free Christian From Impending Death.
