Pakistan Fails to Arrest Majority of Suspects in 2023 Anti-Christian Attacks

A year after the Jaranwala violence, most perpetrators remain free, and victims await justice and compensation.

Over 90% of suspects from the Jaranwala attacks are still at large, with only 380 arrests out of 5,213 accused.
Trials for the arrested suspects have not yet begun, and many have been released on bail or had charges dropped.
Approximately 40% of Christian victims have yet to receive promised government compensation for destroyed properties.
The inadequate response has left the Christian community in fear, with ongoing threats and marginalization.
Blasphemy laws in Pakistan continue to incite violence and discrimination against minority communities.
