Pakistan: “Allegedly Poison Christian Employees to Death”
— CDN reports: “Two brothers die, third in critical condition, after complaining they were not paid.”
— “Muslim employers of three Christian sanitation workers at a banquet/wedding hall here allegedly poisoned the three workers yesterday, killing two of them; at press time the third was struggling for life in intensive care.”
— “The father of the three workers, Yousaf Masih, said the owner of the hall, along with the manager, poisoned his sons because they were Christians who had dared to ask for pay owed to them.”
— “Imran Masih, 29, and Irfan Masih, 25, died at the Ferozewala Pul Banquet & Marriage Hall after being forced to drink something that was heavily poisoned, Yousaf Masih said. The third worker, 23-year-old Aakash Masih, was in critical condition at the Intensive Care Unit of Civil Hospital Gujranwala, in Punjab Province.”
— ” ‘It appears from the position they were in that they were forced to consume some kind of poisoned drink, or a drug, and they were left there to die,’ Yousaf Masih said. ‘The administration of the banquet and wedding hall did not call a hospital or take them to a hospital – instead they called us after the death of two of our loved ones.’ “
