In India, a nine-year-old-girl from a family that had recently converted to Christianity was kidnapped, gang-raped and strangled to death in early August. Anjali Masih was playing with her friends in the city of Gurdaspur, near the Pakistan border, when a group of men lured her away and murdered her.
