Pakistan: Christian Colony Cries Injustice at House Razing Order

Ethan Cole reports in the Christian Post:

A Christian colony in Pakistan is in distress over a government order to vacate their homes within 72 hours so that workers can demolish their neighborhood and expand a main road.

The government is not offering the 48 affected families any compensation.

“We will never allow the administration to demolish our homes, since the local government does not treat us as equal citizens, and we are not provided the basic civic facilities as well,” said Mansha Bhagat, 67, the chairman of Pakistan Masih Itehad (Pakistan Christian Unity) to Washington-based International Christian Concern.
