In August 2023, violent attacks on 21 churches and 35 homes of the Christian minority in Jaranwala, Pakistan, due to blasphemy allegations led to two key suspects being arrested by the Punjab Police. The incident garnered widespread condemnation, with international and religious leaders calling for justice. Blasphemy remains a contentious issue in Pakistan, often triggering violent reactions, and minority communities are disproportionately affected. Amnesty International demanded protection for Christians and accountability for the attackers. This event underscores the ongoing struggle with religious tensions and blasphemy-related challenges in the country.
