Appeal to Save the life of Nurse Tabeeta Gill and her family
Tabeeta Nazir Gill is a forty-seven-year-old mother of two boys, 14 and 13 yrs. of age. Her husband is fifty
years old. They were born and raised Christians in Pakistan and are rooted
in their faith.
Tabeeta has been falsely charged with Blasphemy under section 295C of the
Pakistan Penal Code punishable by death.
Nurse Tabeeta miraculously managed to narrowly escape the clutches of her
persecutors in Pakistan and is presently in hiding out of the country, subject
to deportation upon the expiry of the temporary visitor visa which would
result in her lengthy incarceration and possible violent death at the hands of
the religious extremists.
Tabeeta is trained and experienced nurse of 20 years. She was employed at
Sobhraj Maternity Hospital Karachi, Pakistan, she served with a passion and
compassion for caring and comforting the sick. She is also a Gospel singer
and is well known in both the Christian and Muslim community.
Due to her dedication to her profession, compassion, and honesty she was
well liked by the patients and the hospital management. This caused some resentment and jealously of her
co-workers who habitually only served patients who paid them for their services even though this was illegal
and against hospital regulations. They ignored the poor patients whose families could not afford to pay these
staff a graft for their services. When Tabeeta tried to reason with them that as nurses they should treat all the
patients equally some of her colleagues at the hospital would become infuriated with her and threatened her
to mind her own business. Read Full Story…….
It is with profound pain and sadness that International Christian Voice reports that eight (8) year Anum Bibi, a Christian child was subjected to sexual abuse by a twenty two (22) year old Muslim man Mohammad Awais.
On April 26, a group of Muslim nurses of the Punjab Institute of Mental Health (PIMH) came into the chapel and desecrated the Holy Bible and other sacred items. They continued to recite Na’at (Islamic anthems) for hours in the chapel after accusing three Christian nurses, Sakina, Jessica and Tressa of blasphemy against Islam. The video of the Muslim nurses sitting in the building and reciting Na’at went viral on social media.
International Christian Voice is heartbroken at the news of accusations of blasphemy against two Pakistani Christian women, Maryam Lal and Navish Arooj, in Faisalabad, Pakistan today (April 9, 2021). The accusations arose after Navish, a third-year student-nurse, reportedly removed a sticker inscribed with verses from the Holy Quran from a wall at her workplace and allegedly handed it to Maryam, a nurse-in-charge.
In yet another incident of discrimination against minorities in Pakistan, two Christians were charged with the controversial blasphemy law for their alleged insulting remarks against Islam’s holy book and the Prophet.
