In 2004, Kriss Donald was fifteen years old. He was walking alone on a Glasgow street when he was abducted by four Pakistani men, Imran Shahid, Daanish Zahid, Zeeshan Shahid, and Mohammed Faisal Mustaq. He did not know them. He had never seen them before. There was no argument, no provocation, no prior conflict. He was taken because he was white. Kriss was driven around Scotland while the men who had kidnapped him decided what to do with him. He sat trapped while his life was discussed. When the decision was made, they killed him. They held him down and stabbed him again and again. Three arteries were cut. A lung collapsed. His liver and a kidney were torn apart. As he bled, petrol was poured over his body. He was set on fire while he was still alive.








A Pakistani federal court decided this week to give custody of a 13-year-old Christian girl to a Muslim man who kidnapped, forcibly converted, raped and married her in August. Maria Shahbaz’s parents were devastated at the ruling Tuesday, after the two-judge bench of the newly constituted Federal Constitutional Court (FCC) rejected her official birth record and disregarded earlier judicial findings that the marriage was illegal. The ruling came in an atmosphere of intimidation as 150 male friends and family members of the rapist had arrived to the court to support him.  Justice Karim Khan Agha and Justice Syed Hassan Azhar Rizvi accepted Maria’s statement, which her parents and their attorney say was given under coercion, that she had converted to Islam and married 30-year-old Shehryar Ahmad of her own free will. “We were hopeful that the court would consider the girl’s official birth document (B-Form) and the sessions court order confirming that the accused had contracted an illegal marriage with a minor,” her parent’s lawyer stated. He also said the court had failed to consider that the girl had remained in the custody of the suspect for more than six months, increasing the probability of coercion. “The judges should have taken into account that she was likely to give a statement in the accused’s favor under duress,” he said. “It is deeply disappointing that the court did not provide a safe and conducive environment for recording her testimony.” The girl’s father said said his neighbor Ahmad had abducted his daughter when she stepped outside their home to go to a nearby shop. Human rights advocates say such cases follow a recurring pattern in Pakistan, where girls, some as young as 10, are abducted, forcibly converted and sexually abused under the cover of Islamic “marriages.” Victims are often pressured to record statements favoring their abductors, while courts frequently disregard documentary evidence of age and return the children to their alleged kidnappers as “legal wives.” In Punjab, Maria’s home state, the legal minimum age of marriage for girls is 16. At the national level, the Christian Marriage (Amendment) Act 2024 raised the marriageable age to 18 for Christians; however, if Christian girls convert to Islam, they are treated as Muslims under Sharia, which allows marriage at a younger age.



Great news for India and USA! We have agreed on a framework for an Interim Trade Agreement between our two great nations. I thank President Trump for his personal commitment to robust ties between our countries. This framework reflects the growing depth, trust and dynamism of our partnership. It strengthens ‘Make in India’ by opening new opportunities for India’s hardworking farmers, entrepreneurs, MSMEs, StartUp innovators, fishermen and more. It will generate large-scale employment for women and youngsters. India and the United States share a commitment to promoting innovation and this framework will further deepen investment and technology partnerships between us. This framework will also strengthen resilient and trusted supply chains and contribute to global growth. As India moves forward towards building a Viksit Bharat, we remain committed to building global partnerships that are future-oriented, empower our people and contribute to shared prosperity. @POTUS @realDonaldTrump
