Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan: The Christan community members in Pakistan's Swat region recently protested against lack of 'graveyards' in the region, media reports said.

The protestors said that if the problem is not resolved the Christian community would boycott municipality elections, reports ANI news agency.

Christians and other minorities in Pakistan are facing atrocities at the hands of Muslims and the government authorities, the Indian news agency reported.

Unknown gunmen recently shot dead a Christian priest in Pakistan's Peshawar city on Sunday.

The gunmen also left another priest hurt.

According to a police statement, the incident occurred near Ring Road within Gulbahar police station limits, reports Dawn News.

"William Siraj was a padre at a church within Chamkani police station limits," the statement said.
