Police in Pakistan Decline to Prosecute Rape/Beating Suspects (because victims are Christian)

Officers refuse to arrest Muslims accused of beating Christian woman, causing miscarriage.
LAHORE, Pakistan, June 12 (CDN) — Police have refused to arrest Muslims accused of causing the miscarriage of twin girls by beating their mother, even though a judge cancelled the suspects’ interim bails, according to the woman’s husband.


Officers in Punjab Province’s Narowal district are biased in siding with Muslims accused of causing the miscarriage and of gang-raping the mother’s 13-year-old Christian niece, said Asher Masih, uncle of the girl and husband of the mother. The gang beat the mother, Nosheen Masih, and other relatives to pressure them into dropping the rape charges, Masih said.
