Accused of blasphemy, a man was tortured to death by an angry mob.
The story comes from Pakistan. According to what the police reported, in the Midian area (Swat district), the alleged blasphemer desecrated the Koran. Residents then made announcements through loudspeakers urging people to come out and punish the man, a visitor from Sialkot district in Punjab province.
“The crowd captured him and subjected him to torture before officers arrived and took him into custody,” local police said. And while the police attempted to disperse the crowd by shooting, three people were injured.
In response, enraged protesters set fire to the police station, seized the alleged blasphemer, tortured him and eventually killed him by setting him on fire.
