A Farewell to Nabeel Masih
R.I.P. | 19th July 2001 – 31st July 2025
A Statement
from Juliet Chowdhry, Trustee of the British Asian Christian Association
With deep sorrow and a heavy heart, I must share the
devastating news of the death of Nabeel Masih, a young man who had already endured more than most people could in a lifetime. After a prolonged battle with illness—compounded by the trauma of wrongful imprisonment under Pakistan’s blasphemy laws—Nabeel passed away on 31st July 2025, at just 24 years old.
Nabeel was unjustly accused at the age of 16, imprisoned for over four years for simply liking a post on Facebook. Yet through every challenge—through his arrest, his isolation, his persecution, and even his declining health—Nabeel remained remarkably stoic, showing a resilience that left a lasting impression on everyone who knew him. He
had a quiet strength, a disarming charm, and a heart full of grace.
