Thousands of counter-protesters rally after riots

Thousands of counter-protesters have rallied in towns and cities across England after a week of rioting and disorder. Gatherings in locations where anti-immigration protests had been expected - including north London, Bristol and Newcastle - were largely peaceful, as counter-protesters formed the bulk of the crowds. Police had been braced for further violence, with thousands of officers monitoring as many as 100 locations. The demonstrations followed days of riots initially sparked by  misinformation online  that the suspect in the fatal stabbing of three girls in Southport on 29 July was a Muslim asylum seeker.

 Please pray for the family of a father of four children, who has been killed by Muslim neighbours in Pakistan.
Marshall Masih, a Catholic, had objected to the harassment of Christians in the area of Lahore where he lived.

Four armed Muslims broke into his home in the early hours, last week. They briefly held Masih and his family at gunpoint, before shooting him 16 times, in the presence of his wife and young children, according to Morning Star News.





Neighbours who were woken by screams helped his family take him to hospital, but he later died. He was 29

Masih had previously filed a police complaint against his attackers for aerial firing and harassing Christian women. His sister, Goshi Yaqoob, said after the attack, ‘The Muslims were offended that a Christian had taken a stance against their criminal activities and, by killing him in cold blood, they have shown that our lives do not matter.’

One of Release International’s partners in Pakistan said, ‘These cases and this sort of attitude against Christians has become a daily routine.’

Give thanks that Release International once again has opportunity to be a voice for persecuted Christians at a number of Christian conferences and events this summer. We have seen a good response by visitors to our stands so far.

We’ve recently been at Keswick, Portstewart, in Northern Ireland, and the Cedarwood Festival in the north of England. We are currently at the main Keswick Convention in the north of England (all three weeks!), and will also be at the New Wine annual festival this month.

Do continue to pray for a productive time at all of these events, that the Lord will prompt people to make a loving response to the needs of persecuted Christians around the world.
