World Vision In Progress Foundation is a Christian Social Organization working for the oppressed and deprives communities /Religious Minorities of Pakistan.World Vision in Progress Foundation Requesting International community to grant a Refugee Status to the Christians of Pakistan . As Christians are wedged up in grave situation with gory incidents occurring. A wild wave of sectarianism has overwhelmed the society, which has resulted in unethical sentiments of religious prejudices. The armed religious extremists are playing havoc in the society. A situation of religious intolerance has speared suffocation in our lives; the doors of dialogues are being closed. Religious fundamentalism has grown beyond proportions. Muslims clerics are demanding complete imposition of Islamic Sharia in Pakistan, making it applicable also to all the Religious minorities of Pakistan. The Christians and other religious Minorities being roped in false cases under the blasphemy law, in the year 2009 and 2010 many cases were registered against Christians in North and South of Punjab and being murdered by zealots to win heavens for themselves, recent example of this act can be seen in the case of Rashid Emmanuel and Sajid Emmanuel, both were barbarically killed at the district Court of Faisalabad –Punjab. The zealots take the law in their hands and do not even wait for the judicial verdict. The Judgments and verdicts of the apexes Courts have proved that this law on Blasphemy is being ruthlessly abused for settling personal issues and of course for religious persecution. The law is proving to be a sword hanging on the heads of the Christians and other Religious Minorities in Pakistan. The situation of Christian are getting awful in Pakistan , Muslims Clerics are demanding the full sharia law in Pakistan. This can put Christian into hell situation . Therefore we request international community to grant a refugee status to the Christian of Pakistan .

My heart breaks for the families hiding in terror. We have to open our borders to them before more people get killed.
