A Pakistani Christian who fled to Bangkok, Thailand following accusations of blasphemy against Islam is speaking out about the severe persecution he has endured since going into exile.
Faraz Pervaiz, a human rights advocate who opposes the persecution of Christians, told
CBN News that his situation has become dire as radical Muslims have increased the bounty on his head. A fellow Muslim refugee disclosed my location and a bounty was placed on my head, Pervaiz explained. This lucrative bounty could compel even good people to do me and my family harm. We have had to go into hiding to try to obviate the risks of harm to our family.
