A pregnant Christian woman was reportedly beaten by several men after she refused to convert back to Islam.
According to the report by Release International, the Pakistani woman is a mother of four children, and was being urged by a Muslim woman to leave Christianity and return to Islam.
The 26-year-old woman from Rana Town reportedly refused, and afterwards her brothers stripped her of her clothes, paraded her in the streets, robbed, kicked, and beat her until she was unconscious.
In the report, police initially refused to file the case until Release International volunteers intervened, who have reportedly been subject to threats as well.
For centuries, Muslims have been very strict when it comes to their brethren publicly denouncing their faith. Most Muslim families will not think twice casting out the family member who joined another religion.
Pakistan has recently become increasingly intolerant against Christianity, as more Christians are persecuted because of their faith in Christ.
