A word from our Founding Patron in Chief
I have stood in Pakistan's courts since 1982. I founded this Alliance so that the persecuted would always have a lawyer who fears God more than men.
A false blasphemy accusation is a death sentence before a trial. Our duty is to reach the accused before the mob does.
When a Christian girl is taken, the first hours decide everything. Register the FIR, gather her school certificate, and call us.
Justice for the Christian minority is not charity. It is the promise of Pakistan's Constitution, and we hold the state to it.
Every young Christian lawyer we train is a courtroom the persecuted will never face alone.
