A persecuted Christian has been acquitted of a crime in Pakistan.
The American Center for Law and Justice reports their affiliate in Pakistan, the Organization for Legal Aid, won the favorable ruling on behalf of Imtiaz Masih.
Masih is a Christian who was falsely accused of killing his Muslim employer's brother.
When that man was killed, his brothers Muhammad Aslam and Muhammad Sarwar abducted Masih and tortured him, forcing him to confess to the crime.
After that, Aslam fraudulently induced Masih's father to give the family's land to Aslam. False accusations of crimes are common in Pakistan.
Pakistani Christians generally do not have the means to fight with wealthy Muslims, so they become easy targets of persecution.
