Raped, hit on the head with a stone and left bleeding in the street. The victim of such brutality is a 10-year-old girl belonging to a Christian family who lives in Sahiwal, in the Pakistani region of Punjab.
The child had gone out to go to the pharmacy to collect some medicines for her grandmother when the attack took place. In the case, reported by the British Asian Christian Association, an 18-year-old Muslim was identified and arrested.
In Pakistan every year dozens of girls belonging to Christian families - and not only - are kidnapped, raped, often forcibly converted and taken into marriage by their own aggressors.
