Christians in Pakistan's Punjab province and other areas often face persecution, rights groups say.

SANGLA HILL, PAKISTAN (Worthy News) — A 13-year old impoverished Christian girl in Pakistan's Punjab province was recovering Thursday, February 19, after she was gang raped at gun point by five Islamic extremists, her family told Worthy News.

Family members, speaking on condition that the girl's name would not be identified, said the incident happened February 7 in a village of the Sangla Hill area when she went out to dump trash and relief herself, as most Pakistani villages have no toilets at home.

While on her way to nearby fields two Muslim men, identified as Muhammad Qalla and Muhammad Kakku, allegedly kidnapped her at gun point and forcibly took her to their nearby farmhouse where three other Muslim men were waiting.

"They ruined her chastity one by one for several hours until we reached her. She was in critical condition," a family member said, speaking on condition of anonymity for fear of revenge attacks.

However, "when we shouted and knocked at the door of the farmhouse, the culprits managed to escape from the back door." On request of a local Christian counsel, a local judge ordered to carry out a medical examination, which confirmed the Christian girl had been sexually molested, her family said.

Sangla Hill City Police registered a case against the alleged rapists of the Christian girl, but none of them were detained Thursday, February 19.

The reported rape is the latest in a series of violent incidents against Christian girls and women in Punjab and other areas of Pakistan. Last month police freed two Christian teenage girls when they were rescued after being kidnapped, sold to other men as sex slaves, and forced into Islam by two radical Muslims.

Sangla Hill itself was the scene of several Islamic attacks against churches and other Christian institutions in homes in recent years, after reportedly unsubstantiated desecration of the Quran, seen as a holy book by Muslims.

The government has come under pressure to improve protection of the country's Christian minority and other religious groups.

    This just breaks my heart, I hope and pray that these animals are caught and severely punished. (In this Lifetime) I have no doubt they will pay in the next!! This happens more often than we know. She is in my prayers and thoughts. This gives all Muslims a bad name. Evil!!!!!

    It's awful and it is the hate crime that you expose it for. So, how come rapes are (almost) never recognized as works of this kind in the USA? It happens here too. But how often do we look at it this way? Or how about the multitude of times people are picked up and forced, coerced, or just locked up for "oberservation" and/or "evaluations" because they chose to believe in a Savior who is not dead, but alive, in the USA, while 99.9% of "Pastors" do nothing at all about it except be scared to even go one the record as finding it objectionable? Do you know what happens physically to those so "evaluated."? What happened to this girl and others like here is horrific. What has been happening to their counterparts in the English speaking countries for decades now, while we do not even air it, is just plain an abomination of such magnitute I can not fathom. At least, you are airing this so that we can pray, so we can object their their government. So we can motivate out denominations counterparts over there to helps. Who's breaking the silence for those in our own countries?!

    I have always been amazed at how low human beings can stoop before they realise that we are here to conquer the world (removing all evil)not to destroy it. Why would anybody who is in his right mind subject a 13 year old girl to such a beastly act of rape, not once but five times over and over again? What pleasure do they(and the likes of them rapists) derive from such indulgence of a girl yelling in pain and most likely who later becomes unconcious? Let me pose a question to the rapists, how would they react if one of rapist's sisters is subjected to the same torture? There is no quantifyable measure of the pain, loss that she has undergone, her chastity, her esteem, anguish and trauma are great. Will she ever heal, I mean mentally? The damage cannot be reversed, but one thing I am certain, God is a healer and my prayer is that He touches her in a special way that she may heal physically and mentally. As for the rapists, unless they repent, which is not likely considering their background, their day is coming, when they will face judgement for their deeds. I will remember her in my prayers.

    Heavenly Father I just pray that you will heal and restore that girl far beyond anyone's imagination. I am claiming in the the Lord Jesus'name that each one of her rapists will become Christians, their Knees will bow and their tongues will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. Thank you Jesus, King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Hallelujah! I plead your blood upon Pakistan and the strongman there. Slay those demons who reject you. Slay Agog in your precious name. May your Blood be all over Agog. In Your name, I thank you and I pray.
