Pakistan Mother Jailed on False Blasphemy Charge

1/15/2026   (VOM)

A Pakistani Christian was imprisoned for more than 18 months after being falsely accused of blasphemy. Her accusers are Muslim men offended that she had a Christian cross on the outside of her home. They didn’t want to pass underneath it and demanded that she take it down, but she refused. Angered, the men ripped apart a Quran and scattered the pieces outside her home. When she stepped outside, saw the shreds of paper and picked them up to see what they were, the men ambushed her. They took her to the local jail where she was held and kept from seeing her 3-year-old son, now age 5, based only on their accusations of blasphemy. Her bail hearing was repeatedly delayed, but on Nov. 5, 2025, bail was granted, though she wasn’t released for two more weeks.

Please pray…

• Pray that the Lord will heal and strengthen her and her family after her imprisonment.

• Pray that that all blasphemy charges will be dropped.

• Pray that the government will begin to prosecute all those who make false accusations of blasphemy, and that all those who are in prison for blasphemy will be released.
