A Christian boy has been killed, two women have been assaulted, and two men have been tortured in Pakistan to make them convert from Christianity, news reports have claimed.
According to Christian Daily International (Morning Star News), the separate incidents in the hardline Muslim country have raised concerns that anti-Christian violence will escalate over Easter.
However, there has been some hope offered, with the Supreme Court in Pakistan forcing the Punjab Province government to progress a report on anti-Christian attacks in Jaranwala.
