"[T]the news was not highlighted in media due to Christians being targets... the Pakistan government censors such incidents to avoid international pressure and mounting human rights violations." So do Pakistani government officials operating in Washington DC.
"Parcel bomb critically injures Christians in Pakistan," by Rahul Benjamin for Christian Today, June 13:
A Christian colony was the subject of a parcel bomb blast in Pakistan in the latest of a series of incidents targeting the minuscule community.According to a source, at least 10 Christians were injured when a parcel bomb exploded in Hasilpur, Bahawalpur district.
The injured, including four women and two children are said to be in a very critical condition.
Nazir S Bhatti, chief of Pakistan Christian Congress (PCC), condemned the heinous incident and said, "the news was not highlighted in media due to Christians being targets".
He said the Pakistan government censors such incidents to avoid international pressure and mounting human rights violations.
Even the presence of Christian internally displaced persons (IDPs) in refugee camps, he said, were not revealed for the same reason.
The incident comes close on the heels of a Christian man hacked to death for using a cup designated for Muslims...
