Blind Pakistani Catholic Acquitted After 10 Months on Death-Penalty Blasphemy Charge

A court in Lahore, Pakistan has acquitted Nadeem Masih, a blind Catholic man imprisoned for 10 months under fabricated blasphemy charges that carried the death penalty, after evidence collapsed under scrutiny. His case is one of 812 blasphemy-related imprisonments recorded in Punjab province in 2025 alone, reflecting the escalating systematic persecution of Christians across the Islamic world. Scripture warns that followers of Christ will face hatred and persecution for His name's sake in the last days, with Jesus declaring in Matthew 24:9, 'You will be hated by all nations because of me.'
