A new home: Christian families in search of safety

PESHAWAR:

Some Christian families have migrated from Peshawar to other countries since the deadly bomb attacks last year.

According to activist Augustin Jacob, several families left the city. However, Jacob maintained only a few people had immigrated to other countries in the past year and embassies are giving a tough time to others who are applying for visas.

Pakistan Minority Alliance K-P Organiser Yasir Bhatti said at least 10 individuals have applied for visas to foreign countries, but several have not heard a positive response from the respective embassies.
