Pakistan convicts two over blasphemy lynching case

PESHAWAR, Pakistan - A Pakistani anti-terrorism court sentenced two men, including a local government official, to life in prison on Thursday for their role in the brutal campus lynching two years ago of a university student accused of blasphemy.

Mashal Khan, 23, was attacked and killed by a mob on the campus of a university in Mardan, in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province, following a dormitory debate about religion. A joint investigation team had later found the blasphemy allegations against Mashal Khan to be false. The court ruling noted two videos in which Khan is seen “torturing Mashal” and “congratulating his co-accused for committing the murder”.

The entire population has been infected by ignorance.

Blasphemy is a victimless crime.

What can be expected from Terroristan where we can find still rules which were even banned in Stone Age tribes. Really pathetic

Indian court acquits four men in 2007 India-Pakistan train blast caseAn Indian court on Wednesday acquitted four Hindu men accused of bombing a train... It was a “heinous terrorist act” and acquittal raises questions....!!! Since Hindu bigot Modi became PM, all Hindu accused of rioting, terrorising, carrying fake encounters, participating in Gujarat Genocide of 2002 have been let free by saffronised Courts. What u expect from an othrodox hindu govt of modi,when to win election they can kill thier own army personal,and uses patriotic and religoun sentiments to get hindu votes,but I feel ashamed for the judiciary of india,even they r dictate by modi, as the army.
