I've just received this in the mail from a missionary in India:

Dear Friends
We are asking for prayer. Please offer Holy Mass for the Christians
and Catholics in Peshawar, in the northern part of Pakistan. The
Christians there have been told (by the political party in majority)
to convert to Islam in 10 days or else face death. Many of them have fled
their homes and have gone to Bishop Tony Lobo in Pindi. He is taking this
very seriously, however, the police and authorities are often
useless.
