A 14-year-old Pakistani Christian, who was kidnapped and forced to convert to Islam, has been reunited with her family. Praise be to God.
Sneha is the youngest daughter of Sabir Masih and has two sisters and one older brother.
She was a student of 9th Standard in Franciscan Girls High School, Bahr colony Lahore, but in the evening, she also attended a local academy for tuition to prepare for her final exams.

Sneha was kidnapped on her way home from school in Bahar Colony, Lahore on Jan. 14 by a Muslim man, according to the Centre for Legal Aid, Assistance and Settlement (CLAAS), an interdenominational organization working for Christians persecuted in Pakistan.
Sneha was thrown in the back of a van and was beaten by six boys who jumped into the vehicle, CLASS reported. Other men also joined in as she was raped, the teenager said. When Sneha refused to sign several blank documents—later determined to be a marriage license and religion conversion certificate—she was tortured.
The captors threatened Sneha with “severe consequences” if she revealed their identities and implied they would also harm her two older sisters. Five days after her kidnapping police rescued Sneha and returned her to her family.
