| Imam arrested in Pak blasphemy case |
| 2012-09-02 |
| Pakistani police have arrested an imam accused of planting burnt pages of the Koran in the bag of a Christian girl accused of blasphemy, officials say. A witnessed testified against the imam. The girl was detained two weeks ago near the capital Islamabad after an angry mob demanded she be punished. Last year two leading politicians were assassinated after speaking out against the Pak custom of dealing out death to those accused of blasphemy. |

| #3 “But they said Jadoon said: ‘You know this is the only way to expel the Christians from this area’.” On August 24 Jadoon told AFP he thought the girl had burned the pages deliberately as part of a Christian “conspiracy” to insult Muslims and said action should have been taken sooner to stop what he called their “anti-Islam activities” in Mehrabad. Conspiracies huh? |
