11-year-old Christian girl accused of blasphemy in Pakistan

http://tribune.com.pk/story/423815/1...-of-blasphemy/

An 11-eleven-year old Christian girl was accused of blasphemy and arrested for allegedly burning pages of a Noorani Qaida, a booklet used to learn the basics of the Holy Quran.
Officials of the Ramna Police Station told The Express Tribune that the girl, named Rifta Masih, had burned a Noorani Qaida on August 16 and threw it in garbage after putting it in a plastic bag. Masih belonged to the rural area of Mehrabadi, which is next to the G-11 sector in Islamabad.

Soon after the incident, residents of the area had gathered to lodge their protest. The protesters also allegedly beat up the girl and her mother, while the rest of the girl’s family managed to escape.

The girl has been sent to a juvenile jail on judicial remand.

The news emerged when a website called “Christians in Pakistan” reported the incident. The report alleges that Rifta has Down syndrome and was falsely accused of burning 10 pages of the Holy Quran.

Poor girl. The truly "mentally challenged" ones are those who assaulted her and her family.

According to islamic law mentaly challenged cannot be held responsible for their actions so this may save her from much worse fate.

But this fvcked up. 11 years old girl gets beaten and she gets arrested.
