Siddique Masih, a 40-year-old Christian brick-kiln worker and father of four from Punjab Province, was murdered on 22 June by a co-worker who objected to his drinking from a water-cooler intended for all employees. Police arrested the suspect, Ahmad Varyam, along with three other men. The case tragically highlights the ongoing discrimination faced by Christians and other minorities across Pakistan.
