Under the UN theme, "For ALL Women and Girls: Rights. Equality. Empowerment," the event brought together voices from various sectors to call for systemic change and gender justice.
HRFP President Naveed Walter expressed his deep concerns over the false accusation of Sonia Masih and Saima Masih and arrests with blasphemy allegations against all other Christians.
Following visits to the incident site on May 25 and May 26, HRFP's investigations revealed that the attack was rooted in a personal grudge by Muslim street fellows rather than actual blasphemy.
Both were charged with blasphemy under 295B of PPC for allegedly burning the papers containing Quranic verses on April 15 in a school where Musarrat Bibi was working as a peon and Muhammad Sarmad was working as a gardener, HRFP said in the press release.
