(Kamran Chaudhry. UCA news).

Christians stand at the door of their newly reconstructed houses in Jaranwala on Oct. 12, 2023. More than 80 Christian homes and 26 churches were vandalized in a riot in Jaranwala in Punjab province.

A court in Pakistan has sentenced a 22-year-old Christian to death, convicting him of offending Muslims’ religious sentiment that allegedly resulted in last year’s anti-Christian riot in Punjab province’s Jaranwala city.
