Christian Mother Granted Bail After False Blasphemy Charge
Faith Facts
- Stella Khawar, a 29-year-old Christian woman and mother, was granted bail by the Lahore High Court after over a year in jail on baseless blasphemy charges.
- The court found there was no substantial evidence against her and criticized the long delay in forensic reporting.
- Her trial continues amid concerns for religious freedom and Christian persecution in Pakistan.
God’s providence shone through as the high court stood for justice, granting Stella Khawar relief after a year of suffering for her faith. Attacks on Christians using unjust laws are a stark reminder of the need for steadfast prayer and continued advocacy for religious liberty.
Christian attorney Lazar Allah Rakha thanked Alliance Defending Freedom for supporting Stella’s defense. He expressed hope that continued legal work would secure her full acquittal, highlighting the importance of standing together as the body of Christ.
“Stella’s family is poor and were unable to engage good legal representation for their daughter, whose trial is being conducted in the Sialkot District Jail due to security concerns.”
Pakistan sadly ranks among the top nations where Christians face systematic discrimination and violence. Brothers and sisters globally must unite in prayer and champion the right to worship freely.
May our faith-driven action and persistent prayer encourage believers suffering for righteousness, uplifting them in their hour of trial.
