CAPC is pleased to announce that our client, Shoukat Javed, has been acquitted of the blasphemy and drug-selling cases filed by his Muslim neighbour in a small city in Pakistan.

The actual story was that the neighbour wanted to get rid of Shoukat as a Christian neighbour.
Misuse of blasphmey laws ruined and separated many families, and it has destroyed many lives. We strongly oppose the misuse of Blapshmey Laws. CAPC will continue to defend persecuted Christians.

Grave Injustice Occurring in Pakistan

On February 23, 2026, in Gujranwala City, A Christian man named Sarwar Masih and his family were forcibly removed from their ancestral home of 80 years by a neighbour, Mehar Mohammad Farooq. Despite utility records proving Mr. Masih’s ownership, Mr. Farooq reportedly used a court order to evict the family on short notice without allowing them an opportunity to defend their claim.

Following the eviction, Mr. Farooq allegedly posted Quranic verses and banners on the property, using the threat of blasphemy laws against anyone who might attempt to remove them. A Muslim neighbour, Mohammad Adrees, has expressed a willingness to provide an affidavit confirming that the Masih family has lived there for decades and has never sold the property to Mr. Farooq.

The local Christian community is currently in a state of terror, fearing that this situation could escalate into the kind of mob violence previously seen in Sargodha, Jawanwala, and Shanti Nagar.

Blasphemy laws have been used as a tool to attack, persecute, and lynch non-Muslims in the country. We pray for the leaders to consider abolishing these laws. While the offense carries a death sentence, no one has been executed; however, the accused often remain in prison for several years.

The local Christian community is currently in a state of terror, fearing that this situation could escalate into the kind of mob violence previously seen in Sargodha, Jawanwala, and Shanti Nagar.

We appeal to the Higher Authorities, including the Chief Minister of Punjab, the Prime Minister, and law enforcement agencies, to intervene immediately, protect this family, and ensure that justice is served.

Canadian Aid to Persecuted Christians is an incorporated charity that does advocacy, facilitates humanitarian aid, legal aid to those accused of blasphemy, and resettlement to those most at risk.

Resettlement Program,

After fleeing death threats, leaving home and languishing for years as refugees, two persecuted Christian families are finally very close to reaching their goal of safety. After eight years of waiting, one family even has an interview scheduled with IRCC just a few weeks from now. We need your help to get them over the finish line and safely settled in Canada. Please donate generously.

Part of CAPC’s mandate is to provide safe passage to our persecuted brothers and sisters in exceptionally difficult circumstances. Working with a local Sponsorship Agreement Holder (SAH) in Canada, we filed the two sponsorship applications two years ago. Their applications are in process by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, Canada (IRCC), and we are eager to assist these families in relocating to their new homes in Saskatchewan.

However, due to the 2026 cost-of-living adjustments under the Christian Refugee Sponsorship In one of our refugee sponsorship case our Resettlement Assistance Program (RAP) sponsorship costs have significantly increased in 2026, due to the price hike. Millions of faithful and believers face severe threats in restricted countries, and many have fled to neighbouring countries in Asia, seeking asylum.

Unfortunately, their journeys have been put on hold, with thousands of families remaining in limbo due to massive UNHCR backlogs. Many wait years for refugee status; while stranded, they are deprived of the right to work and face ongoing harassment and exploitation. Sponsorship through Canada’s refugee program gives them a better chance and hope for their future.

We appeal to you for your help. Please consider donating generously to CAPC to support these two families, giving them hope and the chance to rebuild their lives in safety.

Prayers are requested for the suffering brothers and sisters.

Dear Team
It is with deep sadness that I share news of the brutal killing of Pastor Kamran Salamat in Gujranwal, Pakistan.

Pastor Salamat was murdered at 8:00 am on Thursday, December 4, 2025, in Pakistan while taking his daughter to school. The attacker shot him three times. His daughter was an eyewitness to the murder, which we believe was carried out to stop him from proclaiming the Gospel.

Pastor Kamran Salamat was a devoted husband and father to two daughters and one son, all of whom love the Lord. He was a registered pastor with a Bachelor of Theology (BTH), who previously ran a church and worked with youth in the Christian slum of Iqbal Town, Islamabad.

For months, he had been pursued and threatened by extremists to stop his preaching and close his church. He had already survived an attack in Islamabad on Sunday, September 20, 2025, where he was severely injured. Despite these threats, he continued to spread God's word. He moved his family from Islamabad to Gujranwala in an attempt to find safety, but tragically, the extremists were relentless.

Pastor Kamran Salamat has given his life for his faith, and we mourn this martyr for Christ.

These frequent attacks on the Christian community in Pakistan are heartbreaking. It is a critical time for us to come together and demand protection for our families, our lives, our property, and our dignity.

Appeal for prayers for Pakistan and its Christians, especially those dedicated to serving God's kingdom, that they may be protected.
