Pak Prosecutor Asks Christians To Convert To Avoid Conviction

Islamabad -- A senior Pakistani prosecutor has been accused of blackmailing dozens of Christians after he allegedly asked them to embrace Islam to avoid conviction in the killing of two Muslims in mass violence two years ago.

Violence erupted in Youhanabad Christian neighbourhood of Lahore on March 15, 2015 after suicide blasts targeted Sunday mass in two churches. Some 42 Christians were charged with lynching two Muslim men, suspecting them of involvement in the blasts.

Joseph Franci, a rights activist who is legally assisting the accused, said that Deputy District Public Prosecutor (DDPP) Syed Anees Shah told the accused that they can be acquitted if they renounce Christianity, The Express Tribune reported.

"He told them if they embrace Islam, he can guarantee them their acquittal in this case," Joseph said.

The activist said the accused remained silent and were dumbfounded.

Naseeb Anjum Advocate said that the public prosecutor's offer was not new and added that he had also given this offer to some of the accused about six months back but they rejected it.

"They believe in independence of the court, but why is the DDPP blackmailing them?" He asked.

"The government should get rid of such elements that bring bad name to the state by such acts." Shah, when contacted, said that he did not ask them to embrace Islam, but conceded that he offered them a choice when he was told that the accused have a video recording of what he said, the report said.

The choice is simple: worship someone who died for us to give us life or worship a pedophile who’s followers kill and destroy in his name.

Someone will know the exact words but it kind of goes like “if you deny Me, I will deny you to the Father...”

Many Muslims are of like mind, many believe that death is a fitting punishment for leaving Islam. And those are grounds enough to bar them from America.

Pakistan & Khakistan ping

Can you please ask Islamabad to go light on the blasphemy charges? Can your boss, Aulakh Khan, help? He has such close relationships with the Pakis

Indian officials have been quoted as saying that everyone who lives in India must either be Hindu or subservient to Hindus. It’s called Hinutva. But you knew that — your friends support it.

Please tell me what the difference is between officials in a predominantly Muslim country saying everyone should be Muslim and officials in a predominantly Hindu country saying everyone should be Hindu.

But you're perfectly fine with Indian anti-conversion laws (which are directly aimed at Christians.)

This is about you and any help you can provide by appealing to your puppeteers, Islamabad & the Pakis. Given you represent a registered foreign agent (Council of Khalistan), I’d think Aulakh Khan could help the poor victims here.

This is not about India but even if it were, how does it help these victims of your associates?

How’s your colleague Ajrawat at San Quentin? Are you sending him “care” packages frequently? Sure beats life in Taran Tarn, eh?

Trust you are well - as is Kalra. He’s really having a blast in Canada, isn’t he?

Actually, I am not fine with any restriction on any religion, in India or elsewhere. Does India have an anti-conversion law? Did you help write it? My guess is Kalra is sending you fake news from abroad and you’re just propagandizing on his behalf.

I have been crystal clear on this but like good Muslim/Khalistani agents, you practice taquiyya on instead.

You have been clear that your sympathies lie with Hindutva.

Ok, whatever. Your sordid associations are public news by now - http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3482143/posts

BTW, i wanted to ask you a question re honor killings and Ajrawat.

I don’t have the faintest idea why you keep trying to associate me with Dr. Ajrawat. Or Pakistan. You know better.

But your Hindutva sentiments, despite your denials, are evident from your posts.
