Demonstration organized by citizens of Karachi, Christians, Hindus and Muslims, gathered at Karachi Press Club. Those present deplored yet another episode of violence against a Christian girl: On the morning of 13th October 2020 Arzoo Raja went out to the shop and never returned.

The protest was organized and led by the «National Peace Committee Interfaith Harmony» in collaboration with the other Human Rights and civil society and political party groups. The protesters chanted slogans for the girl’s return to the family and the punishment of the kidnappers. They also ask for the intervention of the authorities for the abduction and forced conversion of Arzoo.
