Pakistan Christian Woman in Critical Condition after Rape

4/16/2026  (Morning Star News) 

A 25-year-old Christian woman in Pakistan remains in critical condition after two Muslims raped her on April 11. She was assaulted while working as a daily-wage laborer in a citrus orchard. The woman said from her hospital bed that she had gone to pick lemons along with other village women for a local contractor, Faizan Rehmani, and during a break, Rehmani and another man forced her into a room sexually assaulted her. Her family is now facing threats to settle out of court. After being repeatedly raped, the victim was found unconscious in a street near her home, her clothes soaked in blood. She required 22 stitches to repair the damage from the rape. The paralegal group Christians’ True Spirit (CTS) has taken up the case and is supporting the family. This rape occurred one day before the gang rape of 14-year-old Christian girl in the same province.

Please pray…

• Pray that the Lord will heal this woman of the physical and emotional trauma resulting from this violent rape.

• Pray that the Lord will protect her and her family from Muslims in their town who want them to drop the court case.

• Pray that the Lord will help the paralegal group as they seek justice for her and that Rehmani and his friend are arrested, convicted, and sent to prison.
