The Muslim man who had kidnapped a 14-year-old Christian girl in Pakistan threatened to kill her and her family unless she gave court statements falsely affirming that she had married him and converted to Islam of her own free will, the girl told Morning Star News.

Maira Shahbaz of Medina Town, Faisalabad, was abducted on April 28 by Nakash Tariq, according to family members.

“Nakash and two other men took me to an unknown place at gunpoint, where Nakash repeatedly raped me.”

She said she had been forced to sign blank papers and denied consenting to becoming a Muslim.

“I was coerced into making those statements in the courtrooms,” she said. “They threatened to kill us all.”

Prior to the court case, Maira had been placed in a women’s refuge, but The High Court in Lahore accepted her coerced statements and ordered she be returned to her kidnapper.

Five days ago, Maira escaped from her captor and is now in hiding.
