Christian families evicted (Pakistan)

http://www.asianews.it/view.php?l=en&art=4856

About 100 Christian families live under the threat of an eviction order,” Mgr Evarist Pinto, archbishop of Karachi, told AsiaNews. “They live in the Bilawal Joki Goth and Sofara Goth areas, near Karachi. Most of the land is owned by the army and some private individuals, but some lots were illegally sold to Christians and Muslims. Now the army intends to move into the area of St Thomas Parish Church despite the fact that many people have been long time residents and have a stay order from the court allowing them to remain”.
