The parents of two Pakistani girls, one only two-years-old, appealed on Tuesday that the men accused of raping their daughters be tried by an anti-terrorism court. Manir Masih, the father of the two-year-old Komal and Parveen Barkat, the mother of the seven-year-old Neha, held a press conference in Islamabad to recount the attacks on their daughters and the threats their families had received from the men they accused of the rapes. Mr Masih said his daughter was raped on April 6 near their home in Gujranwala. He discovered her lying covered in blood and saw a twenty-five-year old man, identified as Abid Hussain, fleeing from the scene. Mr Hussain reportedly works at the Shamsi Dairy Farm. Doctors have said the toddler must undergo six separate surgical operations to repair severe injuries, Christian rights activist Shahbaz Bhatti, president of the All Pakistan Minority Alliance, told the press conference. Mr Hussainâs family was now allegedly threatening to kill Mr Masih and his relatives unless they dropped the charges. âIf the beast is not tried in a terrorism court and given due punishment, I along with my four children and wife will immolate ourselves in front of Parliament,â Mr Masih said.Parveen Barkat said her seven-year-old daughter was raped on May 29 in Lahore. The family of the accused man, Ali Bahader of Lahore, was reportedly pressuring her husband to withdraw the charges. âMy young child has been raped, my husband is sick and confined to his bed for the last six years, I do not know what to do,â Mrs Barkat said. Mr Bhatti said the government had âdone nothingâ about the rape of the infant girls. âWe raised this issue in the Punjab Assembly but the government as usual neglected and ignored these brutal incidents of rape of two minor Christian girlsâ Mr Bhatti said. He said 46 Christian girls were raped in 2003 but have not received justice yet. Mr Bhatti asked President Pervez Musharraf to declare the rape of the two girls an act of terrorism.
