India's Punjab State Enforces 'Sacrilege' Law Against Christian Pastor

A Christian pastor in India's Punjab state remains unable to return home after his church was shut down due to the misuse of a law against 'outraging religious feelings.' This incident highlights the ongoing threat to religious freedom and the vulnerability of minority faiths in regions where secular laws are weaponized against specific groups. The situation underscores the broader struggle for religious liberty in the global South and the need for international advocacy to protect persecuted believers.
