This is a message from our contact in Pakistan on a Christian girl named Tania Rebecca, who was the victim of kidnapping and rape by Muslims, in their attempt to force her to convert to Islam.
On April 28, 2012, Tania Rebecca, a resident of the village of Daultabad, Tehsil Manawala, District of Shiekhpura was kidnapped and forcibly converted to Islam. The aggrieved family luckily traced the kidnappers through a cell phone number.
According to Tania:
“On the day of the incident, I left home at around 9:00 A.M for Nankana City, to my maternal uncle’s home. I was stopped by Rehana, who offered me a seat in the car and they would drop me off my uncle’s home. I accepted the offer and sat in the car as Rehana is well known to me. I observed that there were three men in the car – Muhammad Ashraf (the husband of Rehana), Rehana’s son, and an unknown driver. When I tried to resist they warned me and threatened me that if I would make a noise they would kill me. Then Rehana informed me that we are taking you to Multan for the delivery of their relative. Afterwards, they put toxic powder in my eyes and put black scarf on my eyes and started beating me. At this point, I realized they had kidnapped me. They informed my family that they are taking me to Multan for a delivery.
Rehana and Ashraf took me to Dera Ghazi Khan and handed me over to Muhammad Zafar. I was completely out of my mind and unable to understand the situation. Rehana and Ashraf left the place, then Muhammad Zafar sexually harassed me. Even his family members were forcing me to convert to Islam. I totally refused to embrace Islam. Later on, I was sent to Muhammad Ismael, aged 50 – and Khadim Hussain, aged 45, the resident of Nawan Janoobi Dera Ghazi Khan. I was completely unaware of my sale and purchase. Both of them raped me again and again.”
The cost of Blasphemy: Kidnap and Rape
During this time, the family of Tania was doing their best to track their daughter. They were lucky to track Muhammad Zafar through his cell phone’s SIM.
But when Robert (Brother of Tania) and Shafaqat Masih went to Dera Ghazi Khan to find Tania, Muhammad Zafar refused to reveal anything about her. However, with the intervention of the ex-mayor of Dera Ghazi Khan, Muhammad Khan Khachela, they were able to get the exact location of Tania. Muhammad Zafar informed the police and Muhammad Khan Khachela that they had paid 85,000 rupees (PKR) for Tania. Muhammad Zafar said that if they are able to pay us 95,000 PKR we are ready to set Tania free. Muhammad Zafar also said that she is currently in the custody of Khadim Hussain and Ismael.
Tania’s Mother immediately put their house up for lease for 200,000 PKR. On 1st June, 2012, Robert (Brother of Tania) and Shafaqat Masih went to Dera Ghazi Khan, where they came to know that Khadim Hussian and Ismael had sold her to Atta Muhammad and Rub Nawaz. After knowing this, ex-mayor Muhammad Khan Khachela called Atta Muhammad and Rub Nawaz to bring the girl. Initially, they did not agree to return the girl but later on they did. After the Long struggle, Tania Rubecca was recovered by the family after paying the amount of 95,000 PKR.
A prejudiced action was shown by the police that there was an FIR (First Information Registered) against the culprits but police did not arrest them. Tania and her family are still receiving threats from these culprits as well as from the police. Unknown people visited the house of Tania’s parents twice to get Tania Back.
When she was recovered, one Pakistani NGO started claiming in the international community that they are helping this persecuted girl, whereas her experience with the NGO is bitter, which we will definitely unveil in the Interview of her soon.
Note: During a counseling class with Tania, we found that she was very much ill-treated physically and mentally. You cannot even imagine the torture suffered by Tania. The abductors treated her barbarically, using her anus to sexually please themselves. We have immediately arranged for her surgery and she will be recovered soon. But it is shameful for Human rights and Christian Rights Organization who only used her to get funds and benefits. We would request the international community to look into such matters closely and support the victims directly rather than giving money for such people and Organizations who use God’s Money for their luxurious life-style.
