CWN Editor's Note: Peter Bhatti, the brother of the Servant of God Shahbaz Bhatti (1968-2011), said that “neither the U.K. nor any other Western government is doing enough for the persecuted Christians of Pakistan.”
Shahbaz Bhatti, Pakistan’s Federal Minister for Minorities Affairs, was assassinated by members of the Taliban. His brother said earlier this week that “the West needs to promote interfaith harmony in Pakistan so everyone can live together. Unless the West talks seriously with the Pakistani government that won’t happen.”
