Christian missionary Birgitta Almeby has reportedly died on Wednesday in a Stockholm hospital after she was shot in the Pakistani town of Lahore on 3 December.
Almeby, who had lived in Pakistan for 35 years was quickly flown to Stockholm to be treated for her injuries, but unfortunately could no longer fight for her life.
The 71-year-old worked for charity Full Gospel Assemblies (FGA), who had several projects across Lahore, Faisalabad and other towns in the Asian country.
Have you been forced to work on Sundays? Most of us adhere to our employers wishes and go into work instead of attending Church on a Sunday. Celestina Mba however, made a stand and resigned from her job at Brightwell Children’s Home in Morden, London.
After making a formal complaint, the case has been brought to an Employment Appeal Tribunal. This Christian in particular had previously omitted working on Sundays but when management changed hands at the Home, she was forced to go work instead.
In February this year, Mrs Mba already lost her appeal at a hearing when a judge concluded it was acceptable to work on Sundays. Although she has already been knocked back, this woman is still fighting for her beliefs.
