CWN Editor's Note: A Christian man was arrested by Pakistani police and jailed for three days after he protested the abduction, forced conversion, and marriage of his teenage daughter.

Shakeel Masih appealed for justice after his 13-year-old daughter was seized, converted, renamed, and “married” by an older Muslim man. After the girl escaped, the father was arrested, apparently for refusing to disclosed her whereabouts.
