Shahbaz Bhatti, Minister for Minorities in Pakistan, assassinated in 2011, was a fervent promoter of dialogue and the defense of religious freedom and the lives of minorities. Thirteen years after his assassination, on March 2, the Pakistani Christian Association in Italy has paid tribute to him at a meeting held at the Palazzo Giustiniani of the Senate.

The healing of his son, who was born with severe heart disease, was the turning point in Fernando Sanchez Campos' relationship with Padre Pio.
