A British group is trying to raise world awareness of the rape of two Pakistiani Christian girls by a gang of Muslims.

The teen girls, Sherish and Farzana, live in Pakistan’s Punjab province.  The Muslim men attacked them only because they were Christian and the men wanted to punish them for their faith.

The British Pakistani Christian Association says the teens have been intimidated by the group of men after the attacks in an attempt to keep them quiet.  One of the men on a motorcycle fired guns into the family home of the girls.  They were told they shouldn’t be in an Islamic country and they should leave immediately.

The BPCA says that the local officials arrested three men in connection with the attack but two of them have been released on “bail” with no date to return to face charges.  The local police reportedly have misplaced evidence and made other mistakes that the BPCA says it related to corruption rather than incompetence.
