The Government of Pakistan saved an eight-year-old boy from execution, demanding from the local police to remove all accusations of blasphemy from him. Reports about it The Guardian.
Child is the youngest Pakistani, accused of this crime. He wanted only to life for the “premeditable” urination on the carpet in the library of the Madrasa, where religious literature was kept.
After the public pressure and authorities, the police were forced to close the case and relieve the accusation with a minor. The Special Representative of the Prime Minister on Religious Harmony Affairs Mehmud Ashrafi said that the police who detained the child were arrested.
Earlier in the Province of Punjab began the riots after the local court released the boy on bail. The Muslim community attacked the Hindu temple and arranged there in the pogrom. The authorities moved to the region of militarized formations to suppress the riot. The eight-year-old Pakistani, together with his family, is under the protection of the police, as they fear reprisals. Many Hindus were forced to leave at home because of the pogroms.
