Fansan, a 54-year old Christian from Gujranwala in Punjab Province, was arrested on 16th March because of a comment he allegedly made in a Facebook post in 2019.
According to his wife, Safia, her husband lost his handphone in 2019 but did not report it missing. They suspect someone found the phone and used it to post the comment since there was no password protection to the device and Fansan’s Facebook account automatically logged in. Safia insists that Fansan would never have posted such comments as he regularly warned his two adult children against discussing religion with anyone.
Fansan has multiple health issues and his family is concerned that the lengthy court process could be a strain on his health and the family’s financial situation since he is the sole wage earner. They are also fearful of negative repercussions from their landlord and neighbours when the matter is made public during the trial process.
Pray for divine protection, provision and encouragement for Fansan, Safia and their children as they contend with the charges, imprisonment and other legalities in this matter. Pray that God will especially strengthen Fansan during his time in prison. Pray that he will shine for Jesus and be a blessing to his fellow inmates.
