Three Afghans held for disrespecting Quran
Three people have been arrested as officials probe claims that a paper mill in Afghanistan recycled copies of the Holy Quran into toilet paper, the attorney generals office said yesterday. Around 1,000 angry demonstrators, some throwing stones, held a protest on Monday at the mill on the outskirts of Kabul, leaving the building partially destroyed. Copies of the Quran were found inside the factory, Kabul police spokesman Hashmat Stanikzai said, adding that no-one was injured in the protest. The attorney generals office and Kabul police have jointly tasked a delegation to investigate the alleged disrespect to our holy book in that factory, a spokesman said.Posted by: tipper 2011-04-21 |
