Bishops in Pakistan have spoken of their dismay after the country’s Supreme Court quashed the sentences of three men convicted of killing a Christian man and his pregnant wife who were burnt to death after being thrown into a brick kiln.
In interviews with Catholic charity Aid to the Church in Need (ACN), Bishops Samson Shukardin and Indrias Rehmat said that the release of the men cleared of killing Shahzad Masih and Shama Bibi formed part of a pattern in which Christians and other minorities are routinely denied justice following violence against them.
