It's time for another Indian to take over as the new ICC chairman. BCCI secretary Jay Shah was elected as the new chairman of the International Cricket Council (ICC). Upon his election, Shah affirmed his commitment to making Test cricket the "bedrock" of the game during his tenure. Meanwhile, Johnny Grave, CEO of Cricket West Indies (CWI), has raised concerns about the ICC's revenue-sharing model, warning of serious consequences if it isn't addressed soon. Test cricket has been losing its appeal in countries like Pakistan, West Indies, and South Africa, leading to empty stands during matches. The economic viability of Test cricket has been in question for years, and the rise of lucrative T20 leagues has further threatened the traditional format. Given India's financial influence in the cricketing world, Shah's commitment to supporting Test cricket is reassuring for its fans. On the other hand, it has not been the best of times for the Pakistan cricket team lately. After the early exit in the T20 World Cup earlier this year, they suffered a humiliating 10-wicket defeat to Bangladesh in the first Test of the ongoing series. To arrest the freefall, the Pakistan Cricket Board has turned to Artificial Intelligence to help select players. PCB chief Mohsin Naqvi expressed concerns about the lack of a strong talent pool to replace underperforming players. The PCB hopes its new domestic tournament, the Champions Cup, scheduled in Faisalabad from September 12 to 29, will help develop talent in the long run. The PCB plans to use AI to select a pool of 150 players based on data from the 50-over tournament. In the latest episode of the Sledging Room Podcast, Saurabh Kumar, Sabyasachi Chowdhary and Kingshuk Kusari discuss how Jay Shah's tenure as ICC head might turn out and what has gone wrong with Pakistan cricket. Tune in! Produced and sound mixed by Sachin Dwivedi

It's that easy. When you win a Sound Kitchen quiz as an RFI Listeners Club member, you'll receive a premium prize.This week's quiz: On 8 June, I asked you a question about an article we had written earlier that week about the 35th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square crackdown in Beijing, China. On 4 June 1989, the Chinese People's Liberation Army broke up protests by pro-democracy students in the Square. According to various reports, anywhere from hundreds to thousands of students were killed.One of the student leaders, Wang Dan, after two periods of imprisonment in China, was allowed to emigrate to the US. He currently lives in San Francisco, where he leads the Dialogue China think tank.He was in Paris recently and came to RFI for an interview, which you read in our article “Tiananmen Square at 35: top Chinese dissident looks back”.In the interview, we asked Wang Dan: “How did the 4th of June 1989 change China?”  What does he answer? That was your question.The answer is, as Wang Dan explained: “June 4th is a turning point in China's contemporary history. There are two Chinas: the China of before 1989 and the China of after. The main difference is [that] before 1989, the state and the society cooperated. That's why we took to the streets: we as, a representative society, go to the street and ask to cooperate with the government to promote democracy. There's no difference between "us". We think we are all "us". We all take responsibility for this country.But after 1989, many Chinese people gave up on this idea. "You" are the government. "We" are the normal Chinese people. There's no more "us". It's just "you" and "me". After 1989, the Chinese people gave up the responsibility for the country's future because they thought that they could not do anything and that it is the government's responsibility to change China, not the people's.” In addition to the quiz question, there was the bonus question: “What is the ideal human relationship?” It was suggested by Debashis Gope from West Bengal, India.Do you have a bonus question idea? Send it to us!The winners are: RFI Listeners Club member Karuna Kanta Pal from West Bengal, India. Congratulations, Karuna.   Also on the list of lucky winners this week are Nafisa Khatun, the president of the RFI Mahila Shrota Sangha Club in West Bengal, India, and RFI Listeners Club member Kashif Khalil from Faisalabad, Pakistan.   Last but not least, there are RFI English listeners John Yemi Sanday Turay from Freetown, Sierra Leone, and Rafiq Khondaker, the president of the Source of Knowledge Club in Naogaon, Bangladesh.Here's the music you heard on this week's program: “Take the A Train” by Billy Strayhorn and Duke Ellington, performed by Duke Ellington and his orchestra; “El Bueno y El Malo” composed by and performed by the brothers Estevan and Alejandro Gutiérrez (Hermanos Gutiérrez); “The Flight of the Bumblebee” by Nicolai Rimsky-Korsakov; “The Cakewalk” from Children's Corner by Claude Debussy, performed by the composer; “Happy” by Pharrell Williams, and The Chairman Dances (Foxtrot for Orchestra) by John Adams, performed by Edo de Waart and the San Fransisco Symphony. Do you have a music request?

Analizamos las noticias de la semana, con Pedro Tarquis, Daniel Hofkamp y Jonatán Soriano: - En Marruecos, el terremoto ha dejado una situación de gran dificultad y devastación. Algunos cristianos están comenzando a movilizarse para ayudar. - La situación de los cristianos en Pakistán es delicada. Un mes después del masivo ataque contra una colonia cristiana en Faisalabad, conversamos con Imran, un cristiano pakistaní, sobre la situación sobre el terreno. “Las iglesias temen que se repitan estos ataques”, dice. - Se acaban de actualizar los datos de lugares de culto en España. Nos fijamos en la evolución de los evangélicos, la 2ª religión con mayor asentamiento en el país. - Coco Gauff, ganadora del US Open de tenis, es cristiana y habla de Dios tras sus triunfos. Pero la prensa muchas veces lo ignora. Esto y más en protestantedigital.com

Most of us attend church each week with no threat of reprisal. This is not the case in other parts of the world. In recent weeks, Muslim mobs in Pakistan have attacked churches and Christian homes were set on fire. Thousands of Christian families were forced to evacuate including the guest on this Crosstalk. --Joining Jim to bring more details on what's taking place in Pakistan, Crosstalk welcomed Pastor Shahid Kaleem. Pastor Kaleem is the founder and Chairman of Christian Literature - Translation Ministry in Pakistan. He's been partnering for several years with Bible Tracts, Inc. for effective ministry of Bible tract and Bible distribution ministry in Pakistan.--Pastor Kaleem began by noting that Pakistan is the fifth largest nation in the world by population and the second most populous Muslim nation in the world. Because 90- of the population is Muslim, the Christians that live there don't have Bibles in their homes.--In addition to the Muslim population, many people believe in numerous gods and are idol worshipers. Pastor Kaleem and his Christian Literature - Translation Ministry are able to reach such individuals in village after village with the Gospel of Christ via tracts, the Gospel of John, the New Testament and Bibles. --The many Muslims in Pakistan believe in Allah and the Day of Judgment so many are curious about life after death. That's why many people want to read the Bible, even though they believe the Bible has been changed.--In August, Muslims attacked Christians in Faisalabad over allegations of blasphemy. More than 33 churches and over 300 homes were burned, while things like money and jewelry were looted.

On August 16th, fueled by the belief that Pakistan Christians had disgraced the Quran, a group of hundreds of Pakistani muslims began to destroy, burn, and loot churches and Christian homes in Faisalabad. In the end hundreds of Christians had lost their homes and churches. This week our brother "S" shares what happened and what Christians are doing in response.

The first stone was laid in 923.Then he went to Colleville-Montgomery – the site of the D-Day landings 79 years ago, which was the turning point in World War Two. At Colleville-Montgomery, Macron met a soldier … and you were to send in the answer to these three questions: what is the soldier's name, how old is he, and what is the name of the regiment in which he served? The answer is: The gentleman's name is 100-year-old Léon Gautier. He was the last living Frenchman to have taken part in the D-Day landings – one of the 177 Frenchmen who landed on 6 June 1944, as part of the Kieffer Commando Unit, alongside 132 thousand Allied Forces.  Sadly, Léon Gautier died just this past Monday, 3 July. Rest in peace, Monsieur Gautier.

Quando i telegiornali hanno dato la notizia dell'arresto di Imran Khan, per migliaia di suoi sostenitori in tutto il Pakistan è una specie di via libera. Lo Stato arresta il nostro idolo? E allora adesso noi scendiamo in strada e spacchiamo tutto. I manifestanti si scontrano con le forze dell'ordine a Peshawar, a Karachi, a Faisalabad, in Gilgit, a Quetta, praticamente ovunque. Poi Khan viene rilasciato, ma il partito dell'ex premier è completamente devastato: 5mila persone arrestate tra cui molti ex ministri. E per Khan non si è trattato di un arresto ma di un rapimento. E dice che probabilmente sarà arrestato di nuovo. Gli inserti audio di questa puntata sono tratti da: Exclusive video of Imran Khan's arrest, Kapital News, 9 maggio 2023; Imran Khan Arrest | 5 Devastating Videos From Conflict-Hit Pakistan, The Quint, 9 maggio 2023; EXCLUSIVE: Imran Khan warns Pakistan's democracy is at ‘all-time low', Sky News, 13 maggio 2023 Learn more about your ad choices.

سلامت دل کیسا ہوتا ہے؟ حصہ دوم 22-01-2023, Faisalabad

It's Valentine's Day, Tuesday, February 14th, A.D. 2023. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson Pakistani Muslims killed two Christians Random killings of professing Christian believers continue in Pakistan.   Last month, one man was killed by Muslims when he had attempted to stop them from stealing his guava fruit. And now, a Catholic father of six, Emmanuel Masih, was beaten to death by a Muslim landowner who falsely claimed he took oranges from his grove, reports Morning Star News. Pray for Emmanuel's family which has lost its only breadwinner.  Pakistani teen girl abducted, forcibly married to 60-year-old Muslim And here's yet another story of an abducted Christian girl in Pakistan. This time, a 15-year-old daughter was abducted and forcibly married to a 60-year-old Muslim, reports Morning Star News.  Saira Arif was kidnapped on December 15 by Rana Tayyab in the Yousafabad area of Faisalabad, Pakistan. After nearly two months of appeals, the Pakistan police finally registered the case.   Forbes Magazine has reported that at least 1,000 women from religious minorities are forcibly converted and married annually in the country.   Will there ever be any justice served in this dark and evil land of Pakistan? According to Open Doors, it is the seventh most difficult country worldwide to be a Christian.   Pray for the Christian Gospel to make it to this poor country. Hindu mob in India attacks Christians, leaving 2,500 homeless Things are getting tougher for Christians in India as well. Violent attacks by radical Hindus over the last two months have left 2,500 Christians homeless. And the government is doing little to address it. According to International Christian Concern, a Christian leader from the north said, “No worship service on Sunday is taking place in the villages of Narayanpur and Kondagaon districts.  Christians are traumatized and constantly living under fear and intimidation. Their survival is looking very grim on the ground; they need prayers and a helping hand.”  Canadian pastors vindicated for in-person services during COVID Here's good news for Christian churches in Canada.   A Canadian court has dismissed charges against pastors in Ontario and New Brunswick for holding in-person church services during the COVID-19 crisis.    Pastors Phillip James Hutchings of His Tabernacle Family Church in Saint John and Pastor Aaron Rock of Harvest Bible Church in Windsor have been vindicated.  Earthquake fatalities in Turkey/Syria soar to 35,000 The fatalities resulting from last week's earthquake in Turkey and Syria now exceed 35,000. That's the deadliest earthquake since the Haitian earthquake of 2010 where 100,000 to 300,000 people died. An estimated 800,000 people have died in earthquakes thus far this century. 163,000 have died in hurricanes and cyclones.   Meanwhile, 30 million died of HIV/AIDS in this century; 7 million of COVID 19 according to Worldometers, and about 30 million have died by tuberculosis. These have been the most serious pandemic diseases and causes of death by acts of God since the turn of the century.  Habakkuk 3:3, 5 declares that “God came from Teman, and the Holy One from mount Paran. His glory covered the heavens, and the earth was full of His praise. ... Before Him went the pestilence, and burning coals went forth at His feet.” Winning Super Bowl quarterback gives glory to God In Super Bowl 57 on Sunday, quarterback Patrick Mahomes led the Kansas City Chiefs to a 38-35 win over the Philadelphia Eagles, reports The Associated Press. That's the second Super Bowl win for Kansas City in four years.   Mahomes, the youngest quarterback to start three Super Bowls, was given the MVP award for the game. It turns out he is an outspoken Christian, reports SportsSpectrum.com. Listen to part of his testimony he gave shortly before playing the Super Bowl in Phoenix. MAHOMES: “My Christian faith plays a role in everything that I do. Now, I always ask God to lead me in the right direction and let me be who I am in His name. So, it has a role in everything that I do. And obviously it will be on a huge stage and a Super Bowl that he's given me and I want to make sure I'm glorifying him while I do it.” Mahomes discussed his strategy. MAHOMES: “It's about just playing for your teammates, just trying to do whatever you can to win the game for your teammates beside you. And, in that moment, God gave me the strength to run and get that first down and get us in the field-goal range.” Few Gen Zers are conservative, yet nearly 20% attend church A recent report on Gen Z-ers produced by the Walton Family Foundation found only 10% of young people between the ages of 15 and 25 years old call themselves conservative, compared to 26% of older adults over 26 years of age.   But 18% of Gen Zers still attend church regularly, and that's similar to the rest of the population.   A slightly higher percent of Gen Zers claim to be Evangelical compared with the older population.  Yet only 9% claim to be liberal Protestant, while 23% of the older population claim to be liberal Protestant.  And 16% of Gen Zers identify with some kind of perverted sexuality, compared to 4% of the older population.  Is revival breaking out in Wilmore, Kentucky? Kentucky Today reports on an extended revival service taking place at Asbury College in Wilmore, Kentucky. It's gone on now five days longer than initially scheduled. Asbury College was the site of another revival in 1970. How do you know if this is a true, efficacious work of the Holy Spirit?   The article quotes Tim Beougher, the pastor of West Broadway Baptist Church and a professor at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. He said, “It's not how high you jump, it's how straight you walk when you land. It's the fruit that comes from it.”  Psalm 85 brings out this prayer: “Wilt thou not revive us again: that Thy people may rejoice in Thee? Show us Thy mercy, O Lord, and grant us Thy salvation.” Penguin fossil from 7-foot, 350-pound bird before worldwide flood And finally, paleontologists have found the remains of a huge penguin, probably a species that existed before God destroyed the world in Noah's flood. This beautiful creature was about 350 pounds and stood some 7 feet tall, reports Cnet.com. Now, that's a big bird!

The LabOpp Global Leaders podcast is a series of conversations about Careers, the Lab Industry, Training, and People. Our special guest in this episode is Zia Ashraf.  Medical laboratory professionals most commonly specialize in supporting diagnoses of patients to help them stay alive. But those same skills can also be used to help diagnose causes of death. Some take up this endeavour to focus their skills on forensics and better identify the cause of death. Zia is one of those professionals having been previously employed by the Punjab Forensic Science Agency. Beyond performing diligent analysis of both the living and dead, he has focused on lecturing at the Government College University, Faisalabad. He is an active member of the Pakistan Biological Safety Association as a Biosafety Trainer and for the past few years, the Punjab provincial Chapter head.

TESTO DELL'ARTICOLO ➜http://www.bastabugie.it/it/articoli.php?id=6494LIBERATA LA BIMBA CATTOLICA RAPITA, TORTURATA E SPOSATA A FORZA CON UN MUSULMANORacconto terrificante con lieto fine: il tribunale pakistano invalida il matrimonio e la conversione forzata della dodicenne e la restituisce al padre (la madre era morta)di Caterina GiojelliÈ a casa Farah: il giudice Rana Masood Akhtar del tribunale di Faisalabad l'ha restituita al suo papà e ai suoi cinque fratelli, al nonno e alla comunità cattolica che per otto mesi ha battagliato perché fosse liberata. Liberata dal suo aguzzino musulmano, liberata dalle funzionarie preposte a rafforzare in lei la conversione all'islam nella Dar-ul-Aman, liberata dalle umiliazioni di poliziotti e magistrati compiacenti con chi l'aveva rapita, convertita, sposata a forza e ridotta a schiava incatenata in un cortile. Farah Shaheen, orfana di mamma, aveva solo 12 anni il giorno in cui venne sequestrata e costretta a chiamare "marito" un pakistano musulmano di 45 anni.Sorride Farah nelle foto diffuse il giorno del suo rilascio da Aid to the Church in Need, circondata da parenti e una folla di bambini come lei: non c'è traccia dello smarrimento che le abitava gli occhi a dicembre, quando la polizia aveva fatto irruzione nella casa di Khizar Hayat. Qualcuno aveva fatto girare le immagini delle sue caviglie sbendate, mostrando la pelle ridotta a cuoio indurito da piaghe, cicatrici e macchie di sangue raggrumato, segni delle pesanti catene che la piccola si era trascinata tra i liquami del cortile, pulendo lo sterco delle bestie di quell'uomo che la mattina del 25 giugno l'aveva sequestrata, convertita all'islam, stuprata, sposata a forza.LA TANA DELL'AGUZZINOPer mesi il suo papà Asif Masih aveva provato a denunciare il rapimento invocando l'applicazione della legge pakistana che vieta rapporti con i minori, per mesi aveva chiesto indagini su Hayat, principale sospettato. La polizia aveva tergiversato fino al 5 dicembre, quando l'attenzione mediatica sollevata da recenti casi di rapimenti e conversioni forzate di altre ragazzine cattoliche che mettevano in discussione l'operato della giustizia compiacente con i rapitori, li aveva rassegnati a un controllo a sorpresa: la bambina, ritrovata ammanettata mani e piedi in una stanza della casa di Hayat, aveva raccontato terrorizzata la sua storia, quella di una schiavetta obbligata a pulire escrementi fin dall'alba. «Sono una donna libera, l'ho sposato e ho abiurato volontariamente, riportatemi da lui»: perché allora Farah nell'udienza del 23 gennaio aveva supplicato terrorizzata i giudici di riportarla dal suo aguzzino? Che cosa era accaduto nelle settimane successive alla sua liberazione? La stessa cosa capitata alla piccola Arzoo, salvata a novembre da una sentenza ma non dal lavaggio del cervello dei radicali islamici e dalle minacce dei familiari dell'uomo che l'aveva rapita, sposata e violentata: come Arzoo, anche Farah non era stata restituita alla famiglia d'origine, era stata invece condotta alla Dar-ul-Aman, case di accoglienza accreditate dal governo. Lontana dal padre, le funzionarie le avevano messo in mano un rosario islamico, insegnato le preghiere del profeta, obbligandola a recitarle ogni giorno. Era spuntata fuori una anche una perizia medica, denti e genitali, diceva il referto presentato alla Corte, corrispondono a quelli di una ragazza tra i 16 e i 17 anni. A nulla era valso il certificato di nascita, le proteste del padre, il suo corpo da bambina: il giorno dell'udienza, facendo cadere tutte le accuse verso il rapitore, il magistrato non chiese nemmeno a Farah perché suo marito la tenesse in catene.IL RITORNO A CASAPoi, il 16 febbraio, la svolta: «Sia lodato Gesù Cristo, il nostro angioletto Farah è tornato a casa», ha proclamato ad Acn Uk il vescovo Iftikhar Indryas che ha affiancato la famiglia della ragazzina assicurandole assistenza legale nel tentativo disperato di cambiare esito alla sua vicenda giudiziaria. Il giudice Rana Masood Akhtar ha invalidato il matrimonio che non risulta registrato presso alcuna autorità locale. Di più, ha invalidato la perizia medica che attestava la maggiore età della bambina e stabilito che la sua permanenza presso la Dar-ul-Aman non potesse essere protratta a tempo indeterminato: la volontà del padre di accogliere Farah e l'impegno assunto insieme ai famigliari a «impedire a chiunque di arrecare danno alla sua vita e alla sua libertà» ha consentito al tribunale di lasciarla tornare a casa sotto la sua esclusiva responsabilità. Racconta monsignor Indryas che la piccola, sentite le parole del giudice è scoppiata in lacrime di gioia mentre dalle case di amici e parenti scrosciavano applausi e preghiere.La storia di Farah è quella di duemila ragazzine cristiane e indù che lo scorso anno in Pakistan sono state rapite, sottomesse all'islam e ridotte in spose o schiave sessuali di orchi senza scrupoli. Alla piccola di Faisalabad, a Maira, Huma, alla minuscola Arzoo e a un popolo di povere famiglie, vescovi, politici cattolici e coraggiosi avvocati che battagliano per salvarle sfidando la mafia che alimenta matrimoni forzati e sequestri (imam, magistrati, poliziotti corrotti e uno Stato complice) Tempi ha dedicato un ampio servizio sul numero di febbraio. A guidarci nella "terra dei Puri" e tra le storie di ragazzine violentate e umiliate tutti i giorni della loro vita, Shahid Mobeen, fondatore dell'associazione Pakistani cristiani in Italia, amico e consulente di Shahbaz Bhatti, ministro cattolico che sacrificò la sua vita per difendere le minoranze religiose in Pakistan assassinato il 2 marzo 2011 a Islamabad.

TESTO DELL'ARTICOLO ➜http://www.bastabugie.it/it/articoli.php?id=6425MILLE RAGAZZE OGNI ANNO RAPITE E CONVERTITE ALL'ISLAM CON LA FORZAIn Pakistan se così tante giovani sotto i 16 anni vengono sequestrate è grazie alla complicità di imam, magistrati, poliziotti corrotti e uno Stato deboledi Leone GrottiAlmeno 1.000 ragazze appartenenti a minoranze religiose, circa 700 cristiane e 300 indù, vengono rapite ogni anno in Pakistan, sposate sotto minaccia e convertite a forza all'islam. Il famoso studio del 2014 del Movimento per la solidarietà e la pace è ancora valido secondo la commissione americana sulla libertà religiosa internazionale.Quest'anno hanno avuto particolare risalto mediatico i casi di Maira Shahbaz - 14enne cattolica rapita da un musulmano a Madina Town, vicino a Faisalabad, violentata, costretta ad abiurare con l'inganno, scappata e ora nascosta in un luogo segreto insieme alla famiglia mentre prosegue il processo -, Huma Younus - cristiana rapita il 10 ottobre a 14 anni a Karachi da tre uomini, sposata a forza a uno di loro e convertita all'islam - e Arzoo Raja - cristiana di 13 anni rapito il 13 ottobre a Karachi.Meno conosciuto è il caso di Sadaf Masih, cristiana protestante di 13 anni rapita in un villaggio remoto della provincia del Punjab e costretta a sposare un uomo che da allora l'ha indotta ad abortire tre volte, segregandola in casa e usandola come schiava nei campi: a nulla è servito ai suoi genitori rivolgersi all'autorità giudiziaria per ottenere il suo rilascio.Poco conosciuto anche il caso di Neha, raccontato dall'Associated Press: la giovane 14enne con la complicità della propria famiglia di provenienza è stata rapita e costretta a sposare un musulmano di 45 anni, che l'ha obbligata ad abbracciare l'islam e a cambiare nome in Fatima. Scappata, ma rinnegata dalla famiglia, è stata accolta da una chiesa di Karachi. Ma per ogni caso che viene raccontato dalla stampa, ce ne sono altri cento che restano nascosti.Le conversioni forzate sono vietate in Pakistan. La legge proibisce anche di sposare ragazzine sotto i 16 anni, classificando come stupro ogni rapporto al di sotto di questa età. Ma la legge islamica permette di prendere in moglie bambine anche molto piccole dal momento che la sharia richiede per le nozze soltanto il raggiungimento della «maturità sessuale», normalmente intesa con il sopraggiungere della «pubertà».Secondo quanto spiegato all'Ap dall'attivista Jibran Nasir, il business dei matrimoni con giovani sequestrate appartenenti ad altre religioni è una vera e propria «mafia» che coinvolge tutti: «Le giovani spesso sono rapite da conoscenti o parenti conniventi oppure da uomini alla ricerca di mogli. Spesso vengono accettate da ricchi possidenti come pagamento da parte di famiglie indebitate, mentre la polizia guarda dall'altra parte. Una volta convertite, le ragazzine vengono rapidamente sposate, spesso a uomini più anziani o ai loro rapitori. Le conversioni forzate prosperano in modo incontrollato grazie a una rete che frutta molto composta da chierici islamici che celebrano i matrimoni, magistrati che legalizzano le unioni, poliziotti locali corrotti che aiutano i colpevoli rifiutandosi di investigare e sabotando le indagini».A rimetterci sono le minoranze religiose, ovviamente, ma anche il Pakistan stesso, perché dà di sé all'esterno l'immagine di un paese corrotto dove a farla da padrone sono ricchi possidenti musulmani e imam estremisti, e non la legge della Repubblica Titolo originale: Pakistan: la mafia che rapisce e converte all'islam 1.000 cristiane all'annoFonte: Tempi, 29 dicembre 2020Pubblicato su BastaBugie n. 698

TESTO DELL'ARTICOLO ➜http://www.bastabugie.it/it/articoli.php?id=6303MUSULMANO PAKISTANO STUPRA UNA BAMBINA CRISTIANA DI 6 ANNI di Leone GrottiTabitha, giovane cristiana pakistana di 6 anni, è stata aggredita mentre rientrava da scuola da un un giovane musulmano di 18 anni, Muhammad Waqas, trascinata in casa, spogliata e stuprata. Il crimine è avvenuto a Lahore un anno fa, il 12 settembre, e non solo giustizia non è stata fatta, ma la famiglia della bambina è costretta a scappare per le minacce della comunità islamica locale.Dopo aver trovato la figlia con i vestiti strappati fuori dalla casa di Waqas (molti testimoni avevano visto il giovane trascinare la bambina), il padre di Tabitha, Munir Balli Masih, denunciò il ragazzo musulmano alla polizia, che lo arrestò il giorno stesso. Portata in ospedale, una perizia medica confermò lo stupro e l'autore della violenza.La famiglia di Waqas propose subito ai cristiani di accettare un risarcimento in denaro e di ritirare la denuncia, ottenendo però da Masih un rifiuto. Il 4 febbraio una prima richiesta di rilascio su cauzione del musulmano è stata respinta dai giudici. Successivamente, però, le pressioni e le minacce della comunità musulmana alla famiglia cristiana si sono fatte insistenti: «Due imam delle moschee locali sono venuti a casa mia e mi hanno chiesto di ritirare la denuncia», spiega Masih alla British Pakistani Christian Association. «Mi hanno detto: "Se non lo farai, bruceremo la tua casa e porteremo via le tue altre figlie". Io per la paura sono scappato subito con mia moglie e le mie bambine in un villaggio vicino da alcuni familiari».Ma anche lì fu rintracciato dai Waqas, che si appellò ad alcune potenti famiglie locali per far desistere Masih. «Hanno invitato me e mia moglie a casa di un influente musulmano. Lui e gli altri sedevano su poltrone e divani, noi abbiamo dovuto sederci per terra. Ci chiamavano "Churas", sporchi cristiani, e insistevano perché prendessimo i soldi e ce ne andassimo per sempre».Masih rifiutò di nuovo 60 mila rupie (300 euro) e tornò a casa sua, non sentendosi più al sicuro nell'abitazione dei familiari. Poche settimane fa, l'8 settembre, Muhammad Waqas è stato liberato su cauzione in attesa dell'inizio del processo, gettando nello sconforto la famiglia della piccola Tabitha, che alla Bpca dichiara: «Ho paura a tornare a scuola, ho paura che mi picchi e mi trascini a casa sua di nuovo».Tabitha non è la sola cristiana ad aver subito violenze e ingiustizie. Ogni anno 2.000 ragazze circa appartenenti a minoranze religiose vengono rapite e maltrattate, spesso convertite a forza all'islam e obbligate a sposarsi. Tra i casi più recenti, hanno fatto enorme scalpore quelli di Maira Shahbaz e Huma Younas, entrambe quattordicenni.Nota di BastaBugie: il precedente articolo si concludeva ricordando il caso di Maira Shahbaz. Nell'articolo seguente dal titolo "Maira, rapita da un musulmano e violentata, è scappata" se ne racconta la drammatica storia.Ecco l'articolo completo pubblicato su Tempi il 26 agosto 2020:Mohamad Nakash, l'uomo che secondo l'Alta Corte di Lahore sarebbe suo legittimo marito perché, secondo il giudice, l'adolescente si sarebbe convertita all'islam. Maira dopo la fuga si è recata presso una stazione della polizia riferendo fra l'altro di essere stata filmata mentre veniva violentata dal sequestratore. La ragazza di Madina Town (Punjab) insieme alla madre Nighat e a tre fratelli sono attualmente in fuga dall'abitazione di Nakash, residente nei pressi di Faisalabad, luogo dove secondo fonti vicine ai familiari della vittima sarebbe stata anche costretta a prostituirsi. Maira ha confermato di rifiutare l'abiura della propria fede cattolica, sottolineando di essere stata ingannata tramite la firma di documenti in bianco estortale dal rapitore. Ha aggiunto che il sequestratore e i suoi complici l'hanno minacciata di pubblicare online il video dello stupro qualora non si fosse attenuta alle loro richieste. La fondazione pontificia Aiuto alla Chiesa che soffre (Acs) è entrata in possesso, tramite il legale della famiglia, l'avv. Khalil Tahir Sandhu, del documento attestante le dichiarazioni rese da Maira alle forze di polizia. Descrivendo quanto accaduto dopo il sequestro avvenuto lo scorso aprile la minorenne ha dichiarato: «Mi sono trovata in un luogo sconosciuto dove l'accusato mi ha costretta a prendere un bicchiere di succo contenente un alcolico. In quel momento ero semi cosciente e l'accusato mi ha stuprata violentemente e mi ha anche filmata mentre ero nuda. Quando sono tornata in me ho iniziato a gridare e a chiedere loro di lasciarmi andare. Hanno minacciato di uccidere tutta la mia famiglia. Mi hanno anche mostrato il video in cui ero nuda e le foto che avevano scattato con i loro cellulari mentre mi stupravano». La vittima ha ribadito: «La mia vita era in balia dell'accusato e... Nakash mi ha stuprata ripetutamente e violentemente». L'attivista per i diritti umani Lala Robin Daniel, in un colloquio con Acs, ha descritto la vita in fuga della vittima, costretta a spostarsi continuamente da un posto all'altro. «Maira è traumatizzata. Vogliamo portarla da un medico ma temiamo di essere scoperti». La famiglia ha richiesto l'arresto di Mohamad Nakash per crimini sessuali ai danni di un minore e l'avv. Tahir Sandhu si è rivolto all'autorità giudiziaria per ottenere l'annullamento del presunto matrimonio e il riconoscimento della violenza subita anche per ottenere la conversione all'islam. Il presunto sequestratore ha reagito richiedendo l'arresto della madre della vittima, Nighat, degli zii e di Lala Robin Daniel asserendo che loro avrebbero rapito la ragazza portandola via dalla propria casa nei pressi di Faisalabad. Sono passate quasi tre settimane dopo la decisione assunta dall'Alta Corte di Lahore a favore di Mohamad Nakash, nonostante il legale di Maira abbia prodotto un certificato di nascita ufficiale dal quale risulta che l'adolescente aveva 13 anni al tempo del presunto matrimonio che si sarebbe consumato mesi prima del sequestro, lo scorso ottobre. Il religioso islamico citato nel certificato di matrimonio lo ha peraltro dichiarato falso e si è rivolto alle forze di polizia. Dopo mesi dal sequestro e dalle violenze fisica e spirituale Maira attende giustizia, e con lei restano in attesa le altre 2.000 ragazze che ogni anno in Pakistan subiscono trattamenti simili.

Abhik brings in an infamous game from 1987 - at the end of a frustrating tour, a seemingly innocuous incident leads to an unseemly escalation between player and umpire. Mike Gatting vs Shakoor Rana - it made for an iconic photograph but who was in the right? And should you still respect the law if the law is an ass? We cover defamation law, ancient Babylonian ethics and the meta-question of "who umpires the umpires" before recounting some personal episodes of poor officiating, including unconventional childhood bowling actions and an umpire who mistook off stump for leg.Today's game - England vs Pakistan, Faisalabad, Dec 7-12 1987
