"A Christian couple was literally burned alive by an angry Islamist mob. In what amounted to a mob lynching over blasphemy accusations, the couple (including a pregnant mother) was murdered for their faith."
ACLJ: Horror in Pakistan: Christians burned alive

"The Christian eyewitnesses told that the Muslims also burnt the Bible and threatened the Christians that they would burn the Christian houses and church in the village. They also said that Khawar Yousaf had demanded 150,000 Pakistani rupees (roughly $1471) from the couple to let them escape from the village. But the poor couple was unable to pay.
During our meeting with the family of Shahzad, the family informed our team that Shama was in the second trimester of her pregnancy."
ACLJ: Dozens arrested:

"A Christian couple was literally burned alive by an angry Islamist mob. In what amounted to a mob lynching over blasphemy accusations, the couple (including a pregnant mother) was murdered for their faith.
As gruesome and appalling as this situation is, international media has reported, and our affiliated office in Pakistan has confirmed, that between 40 and 50 members of this murderous jihadist mob have been arrested by police.
As the Wall Street Journal correctly noted, the arrests only took place only because of the immense international outrage that ensued. --- in Pakistan, it’s “blasphemy” that’s the crime. All it takes is one false accusation against a Christian, and it happens every day. Christian mother of five Asia Bibi sits on death row, convicted and sentenced under Pakistan’s Shariah blasphemy law.
But in most cases, as we have previously detailed, Christians are murdered long before they are sentenced to hang under the blasphemy law.
Whether it is this heinous law or mob executions, Pakistan is brutally persecuting Christians at an alarming rate."
