#JusticeForHuma - Watch The March 23 Event

On March 23, OFWI and the Huma Younus Rescue Coalition held a livestream event to raise awareness for Huma’s case. OFWI’s Majed El Shafie hosted Raheel Raza (Muslims Facing Tomorrow) & Shaan Taseer (Pakistan For All) for an in-depth discussion exploring:

  • Christian Persecution & Weak Rule of Law in Pakistan

  • Hear directly from Huma’s mother in Pakistan

  • Karachi City Court positive ruling and legal next steps

  • How you can help Huma be reunited with her family.

Former Green Party Leader Elizabeth May joined from Parliament Hill in Ottawa.

Re-watch the whole event right here on OFWI.org:

Huma Younus is a 15 year old girl. Over a year ago, she was kidnapped in Pakistan, raped by her captor, and forced to marry him. Working directly with Huma’s mother, a group of Canadian organizations have formed the Huma Younus Rescue Mission Coalition to advance her case in the Pakistani court system, secure her freedom, and see justice served.

While a Karachi City Court has ruled in Huma’s favour, corrupt officials are enabling this continued injustice.

The legal fight is now being appeal to the High Court in Pakistan. You can learn more about it here: https://ofwi.org/rescue-huma-younus
