-Muslim Sentenced To Death For Killing 20-Year Old Christian
A Judge in Pakistan has sentenced a Muslim to death for murdering a 20-year old Christian in the presence of his family.
Saima Riyasat, additional sessions judge of Pasrur, Sialkot District, handed the country’s maximum punishment for murder to Muhammad Zubair for killing Farhan Ul Qamar on November 9th, 2023, said Christian attorney Lazar Allah Rakha.
“The convict is a hardened criminal and was already involved in several cases of a heinous nature,” Rakha told Christian Daily International-Morning Star News.
“However, he managed to escape punishment every time because of his family’s political influence and criminal history, which had emboldened him to the extent that he started targeting Christian residents without any fear of punishment.”

The attorney applauded the victim’s father for remaining steadfast in the pursuit to seek justice for his dear son.
“The family has faced immense pressure and threats from the convict’s family to reach a settlement, but they have shown exemplary courage and perseverance, and today God has served them with justice,” Rakha said.
“The punishment handed to Zubair should serve as an example for all those who target marginalized communities, especially Christians, with violent crimes.”
