Jessica Iqbal

Extra Bio Info:

Jessica Iqbal was subjected to forced renunciation of faith. 

In April 2025, Iqbal, a Christian girl from Lahore, was abducted from her home by a neighbor. Her father subsequently filed a first information report (FIR). 

In May 2025, she appeared before a court and testified that she converted to Islam and married voluntarily. During court proceedings, Jessica was reluctant to say the Kalima (Islamic conversion proclamation) or answer questions about Islam, raising doubts that her conversion was uncoerced. Her parents reported that Jessica, after making her statement, told them she was "fearful for [their] lives."
