Pakistan Two Christians Arrested for Eating During Ramadan

ASSIST News Service reports that Pakistani police arrested two Christians for eating during the Islamic fasting season of Ramadan in the city of Silanwali. Gull Masih and Ashir Sohail were reportedly traveling toLahore on Aug. 25 when their bus stopped at the Bismillah Hotel to let off passengers. After the waiter served them tea and a snack, several policemen started to question them as to why they were desecrating Ramadan by eating during the Islamic fasting season. The two Christians told the police that since they are Christians, they are not supposed to fast during Ramadan. Police then marched them into a van and registered a case against them at the police station. Their case is now pending before court.
