Justice Delayed: The 13-Year Struggle of the Peshawar Church Blast Survivors
Source excerpt
On Sept. 22, 2013, twin suicide blasts tore through All Saints Church at Kohati Gate in Peshawar, Pakistan, killing nearly 100 people and wounding more than 200 others. The attack, claimed by Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan as retaliation for American drone strikes, stands as one of the deadliest assaults on the Christian community in the country’s history. Families were shattered in an instant; children lost their parents, siblings were separated, and spouses were left behind. The tragedy hit the very core of Pakistan’s Christian community.
