TV announces arrest in the Pakistan brothers murder case

Pakistan (MNN) -- Christians in Pakistan continue to be in shock, following last week's murder of two brothers. Rashid and Sajid Emmanuel were falsely accused of blaspheming Mohammad. Todd Nettleton with Voice of the Martyrs says Christians began protesting blasphemy laws used to falsely imprison Christians. "They're saying as long as these blasphemy laws are on the books, we are at risk because any Muslim can point to us and say, 'Hey I heard him say something about Mohammad.' [Those accused of blasphemy] are locked up in jail while they wait for the trial to go on; they lose literally years of their lives." While persecution is strengthening the church, Nettleton's asking Christians to pray. "There's a natural tendency to sort of silence yourself. We need to pray against that. And we need to pray for Christians there to continue to be bold witnesses for Christ in spite of the fact that they could be in the cross-hairs of a blasphemy charge."
