It's dangerous just to be a Christian in Pakistan, but if you have been on trial for blasphemy, you are likely to be murdered by Islamist fanatics even if you have been acquitted. Please show mercy to such Christians. They are sure to be murdered if sent back to Pakistan.

Please reconsider their asylum appeal to avoid the likelihood of their being killed if they return to Pakistan.

It's not good enough for people in such danger to be sent back to Pakistan. If they cannot be given asylum here, then they should be allowed to go to a third country.

Our government is giving financial aid to a country that is persicuting minority faiths other than islam.

Where is the tolerance, freedom and protection for Christans that other groups are entitled to have respected and upheld? Why send these families back as lambs for the slaughter? That's the reality!

If the Baksh family are returned to Pakistan, they will face certain persecution and torture. If we respect their human rights, they must be allowed to stay

Please grant this clearly-justified request and so demonstrate that we as a democratic nation are prepared to defend and protect persecuted Christians as well as other persecuted individuals.

The Home Office should reverse this decision, since there is a real prospect of serious harm or death to the couple.

Give this family justice and let them stay. At a time when UK based terrorists are freely allowed to return from places like Syria, it is VITAL that this Christian family is allowed to stay - sending them back to Pakistan would effectively murdering them.

Have compassion on those who are genuinely at risk because of their faith in Jesus. Put yourself in their place and imagine.

This family needs to be able to stay in UK. So many Christians are faced with trumped up charges i n Pakistan and they are often convicted with little or no evidence. If not convicted extremists take matters into their own hands and kill for no other reason that the victim is Christian. The person is often killed or persecuted in a very violent way. Surely if UK lets fighters known to have been fighting for IS in Syria or Iraq back into this country authorities can show mercy to an innocent family by giving asylam here permanently.

We are supposed to be a Christian country which is why we try to protect the innocent, and the vulnerable. This Christian family need our help and should be allowed to stay.

Europe should welcome Christians who are persecuted and stand by their side!
