SHEIKHUPURA, PAKISTAN (ANS) -- At least three Muslim men have allegedly gang raped a sixteen-year-old Pakistani Christian girl on the night between July 20, 2010 and July 21, 2010 in Farooqabad, a small town in the Punjab province of Pakistan, ANS has learned.

According to the Human Liberation Commission of Pakistan (HLCP), the three men allegedly raped Alia bibi, 16, daughter of Ghafoor Masih, a Christian field laborer who was employed by a local Muslim landlord.

Aslam Sahotra, Chief of the Masiha Millat Party and General Secretary of the Human Liberation Commission of Pakistan, told ANS that the alleged rapists entered Masih’s house by climbing the outer wall of the house when Ghafoor Masih had gone to irrigate crops in the nearby fields.

On his return, the alleged victim told her father that the three men had taken turns in raping her.

“They [the alleged rapists] did not stop raping me despite requests by my mother and grandmother, who woke up after hearing my screams,” Alia bibi told her father, according to Sahotra.

According to the HLCP, one Muslim man later intercepted Masih and held him in captivity when he was coming back to his home after reporting the alleged rape of his daughter to the Farooqabad police station.

Sahotra alleged that the man “snatched the copy of the complaint” and took Masih to the house of another Muslim where others “chained his left leg”.

Masih, in a written application to the Deputy Inspector General of the Sheikhupura Police, said that his captors would only “unchain him during the mornings” and would “order him” to work.

ANS has obtained a copy of the application that Masih had submitted to the police officer.

“I have managed to escape from their captivity. I request you to bring the culprits to justice for raping my daughter and for holding me captive”, Masih said in the application.

ANS has discovered that Mr. Aslam Sahotra, General Secretary of the HLCP, Martin Javed Michael, Senior Vice Chairman of the HLCP and Zia Khokhar, Chairman Iqliaiti Mahaz baray Masawi Haqooq [Minorities Front for Equal Rights] met with Sheikhupura District Police Officer [DPO] on Thursday, July 29, 2010, and requested him to initiate action against the culprits.

According to the HLCP, the DPO has now directed Naseer Ahmad Khan, the Station House Officer of the Farooqabad Police Station, to “immediately arrest the culprits and take legal action against them.”
