Dear friends and supporters,
I would like to share an important update regarding our campaign. There have been significant legal shifts in Pakistan: The National Commission for Minorities Rights Bill 2025 was recently passed, establishing a statutory body to protect non-Muslim communities. This follows a landmark July 2025 Lahore High Court ruling where the court, for the first time, ordered the national database authority (NADRA) to officially recognize a convert's Christian faith on their ID card.
Our campaign for Shikandar has become a crucial test to implement this legislative transformation within the executive branch. While the law is evolving, authorities often resist these changes; for instance, other families have seen only partial implementation of similar court orders, leaving them in legal limbo.
In Shikandar’s specific case, progress has been slow. The Attorney-General missed the last judicial deadline, leading the High Court to set two new deadlines to intervene at the next higher level and move the case forward.
We remain persistent so that Shikandar can officially return to his true faith before his wedding next year. This is crucial to ensure that his future wife and children do not have to endure the same religious conflict, discrimination, and "blasphemy risks" that have haunted Shikandar throughout his life.
Thank you for standing with us on this challenging but path-breaking journey!
