JARANWALA, Pakistan – Police were guarding a Christian neighbourhood in Pakistan on Thursday, after hundreds of Muslim men rampaged through its streets burning and ransacking churches and homes over accusations of blasphemy a day earlier.on the outskirts of the industrial city of Faisalabad, forcing families to flee their homes, after allegations spread that Christians had desecrated the Quran.
“All the Christians have left their homes and taken refuge here and there,” Mr Fayaz Masih Khokhar, a Christian man who had travelled from nearby Lahore, told AFP. Mr Yasir Bhatti, a 31-year-old Christian, fled his home in a narrow alley next to one of the churches that was ransacked by the mob. Blasphemy is a sensitive issue in Muslim-majority Pakistan, where anyone deemed to have insulted Islam or Islamic figures can face the death penalty.
“Not only has the state failed to protect its religious minorities, but it has also allowed the far right to permeate and fester within society and politics.”
