John,
We've got a critical update as we intervene for Christians facing imminent torture and even execution.
Our client Ahsan is one of these Christians facing death. His hometown in Pakistan erupted in a riot that saw a Muslim mob burn down over 20 churches and 80 Christian homes. During the brutality, this young Christian was falsely blamed by radical Islamic authorities. He was arrested and sentenced to execution by hanging.
We are appealing Ahsan's case through our office in Pakistan.
In just days, our team will go before the U.N. Human Rights Council in Geneva to present oral interventions in heartbreaking Christian persecution cases to shed light on what these Christians are enduring.
God has called us to fight for justice on behalf of persecuted Christians. We've helped free other Christians from death row – such as Christian mom Asia Bibi, who was charged under the same barbaric law as Ahsan.
We MUST have the resources to fight for their freedom. This week we are launching our Life & Liberty Drive, and you can now have your Tax-Deductible gift DOUBLED before our team presents at the U.N.

We need YOU – join in the defense of Ahsan.

Unfortunately, Ahsan's case isn't unusual. After enduring 170 days of torture, Pastor Mojtaba fled Iran and sought refugee status in Turkey. Now Turkish authorities have detained him on questionable charges, leaving him at risk of deportation back to Iran where he faces imprisonment and further torture.
We are appealing Mojtaba's case with the authorities in Turkey. His life and freedom hang in the balance. Sign our urgent petition now to demand protection for Pastor Mojtaba.

Shahzad, just a teen when he was arrested, has already lost eight years of his life behind bars. He was arrested for a "crime" that even local Pakistani authorities admitted in court he didn't commit. Now he will die unless we take urgent action to save him. Add your voice to his defense.

Two Christian brothers, Amoon and Qaisar, were falsely accused of blasphemy in Pakistan and sentenced to death. Despite no evidence, their conviction was upheld. The misuse of blasphemy laws targets Christians.
We are appealing to Pakistan's Supreme Court to overturn this injustice. Urgent action is needed.

In Malaysia, 15 men emerged from 3 SUVs and forcefully abducted Pastor Koh in a swift government-orchestrated strike. Koh wasn't new to persecution. The government raided his church in the past – just because he is a Christian.
We're advocating for Pastor Koh at the U.N. and demanding his freedom. Take action with us.

Finally, as our team travels to Geneva in just days to defend these persecuted Christians, we urgently need your support through our Life & Liberty Drive. Have your gift doubled today.
