In addition, 5,000 to 6,000 persons reportedly besieged the police station to try to kill Masih. Several policemen who tried to stop them were wounded. The following day, a Muslim filed a complaint against Masih, but later stated that he had acted under pressure. Habib Masih’s wife stated in a national newspaper, The Friday Times, that her husband had been warned to give up his occupation (making religious amulets) or suffer the consequences. Habib Masih was released on bail from Sheikhupura prison, but proceedings are still under way. (e) Concerning the three Christian youths, Rehmat Masih, Manzoor Masih and Salamat Masih (aged 13), who were arrested on 11 May 1993, detained in Gujranwala prison for blasphemy after being accused of having written defamatory inscriptions on the walls of the mosque in Rotto Dohran village (case referred to in the allegation of 8 November 1993, communicated to the Government of Pakistan) and then released on bail in November 1993 (for Salamat Masih) and 12 January 1994, the Special Rapporteur has been informed that Mr. Manzoor Masih is reported to have been killed and that Mr. Rehmat Masih, Mr. Salamat Masih and a human rights activist, Mr. John Joseph, were injured in a shoot-out on 5 April 1994. The three accused were reportedly escorted by the police to their lawyer’s office near the Advocate General’s Office behind the Supreme Court of Lahore. After they had spoken with their lawyers and were leaving the office unescorted, they were attacked by three unmasked motorcyclists who fired at them with Kalashnikov AD 47s. The aggressors were reportedly three Muslims from the Sepah-e-sahab Islamic Party.

The attack was reportedly authorized by two leaders of the Sepah-e-sahaba Islamic Party, Master Enayat and Maulvi Muhammad Fazl-e-Haq, who was the main complainant in the case against the three Christians, who, according to experts, were wrongly accused. The three injured persons, Mr. Rehmat Masih, Mr. Salamat Masih and Mr. John Joseph, were reportedly taken to Sir Ganga Ram Hospital.

Some 5,000 persons reportedly gathered for Mr. Manzoor Masih’s funeral, which took place peacefully under police protection. Mr. Manzoor had a wife and 10 children.
