Christian Raped, Murdered for Refusing Islam

(Adda, Pakistan) In this small community about 70 miles northwest of Lahore, a young Christian man, Litto Ghauri, was found dead after allegedly refusing to convert to Islam.

Results of an autopsy indicated that "Litto had been sodomized, flogged, clubbed, and stabbed five times in the stomach and genitals."

Litto's father, Amjad Masih Ghauri, told ICC [International Christian Concern], "On May 10th, while my son and that Muslim girl, Shazia Cheema, were making love in a lonely part of the fields, her two elder Muslim brothers found them in an objectionable posture and this enraged them." Litto managed to escape the scene and ran home, telling his father everything.

The next day Shazia's three brothers arrived at Litto's house, where they demanded that Litto convert to Islam and marry their sister. Litto said he would marry her, but that he would not convert to Islam. This infuriated the brothers, who kidnapped him at gunpoint and threw him into their car.

Ghauri immediately reported to the police what had happened. In response, the officer on duty said, "How dare you Choohra (derogatory term for Christian) cast malicious eyes on a Muslim girl."

The three brothers, Muhammad Aslam Cheema, Muhammad Usman Cheema and Muhammad Akber Cheema, walk free in the community, claiming they "taught a good lesson to the Choohras."

Disturbingly, it's contended that the girl likely befriended Litto with the sole purpose of converting him to Islam and that sisters and daughters are commonly used to entice Christians to convert. It's believed that Litto's refusal was his death sentence.
