Her accusers are Muslim men offended that she had a Christian cross on the outside of her home. They didn&rsquo;t want to pass underneath it and demanded that she take it down, but she refused. Angered, the men ripped apart a Quran and scattered the pieces outside her home. When she stepped outside, saw the shreds of paper and picked them up to see what they were, the men ambushed her. They took her to the local jail where she was held and kept from seeing her 3-year-old son, now age 5, based solely on their accusations of blasphemy. Her bail hearing was repeatedly delayed, but on Nov. 5, 2025, bail was granted, though she wasn&rsquo;t released for two more weeks. Front-line workers ask for prayer that the Lord will heal and strengthen her and her family after her imprisonment and that all blasphemy charges will be dropped.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.persecution.com\/globalprayerguide\/pakistan\/\">Click here<\/a> to find out about Christian persecution in Pakistan and learn how to pray.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.icommittopray.com\/request\/2928\/pakistani-christian\/\" target=\"_blank\">Post a prayer for Pakistani Christian on iCommitToPray.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Pakistani Christian was imprisoned for more than 18 months after being falsely accused of blasphemy.
