Rights Group Condemns Attack on Christian Man in Pakistan

Rights Group Condemns Attack on Christian Man in Pakistan

A man named Zahid Masih, who is a Christian, was badly hurt in an attack in Pakistan.

Another man named Muhammad Ali Azhar poured petrol on Zahid's face and set it on fire.

This happened because Azhar was saying mean things about Zahid's religion.

People from the Christian community helped Zahid and saved him from more harm.

Many groups that protect people's rights are very upset about this attack.

They say that people who are part of minority religions in Pakistan often face bad treatment and violence.

Zahid is now in the hospital getting better, but it will take a long time for him to feel okay again.

This attack shows that there need to be better laws to protect people from being hurt because of their religion.
