இஸ்லாமை திட்டவில்லை என்று விடுதலை செய்யப்பட்டவர் சுட்டுக்கொல்லப்பட்டார்

பாகிஸ்தானில் சஜ்ஜத் உசேன் என்பவர் இஸ்லாமை அவமதித்தார் என்று வழக்கு நடந்தது. அதில் அவர் இஸ்லாமை அவமதிக்கவில்லை என்று நிரூபிக்கப்பட்டு வெளியே விடப்பட்டதும் மற்ற முஸ்லீம்களால் சுட்டுக்கொல்லப்பட்டார்.

அரேபிய அல்லாவை காப்பாற்ற முஸ்லீம்கள் ரொம்ப மெனக்கெடுகிறார்கள்.

A Pakistani man who was acquitted of a blasphemy charge has been shot dead by two men in Punjab province, police officials said on Saturday.

Sajjad Hussain, a resident of Khan Muslim village in Gujranwala district, 80 km from Lahore, was gunned down on Friday. He had been 

arrested in February 2011 after Sath Sanaullah, a resident of his neighbourhood, accused him of committing blasphemy against Prophet Mohammed during a private conversation.

Hussain was booked under section 295-C of the Pakistan Penal Code, the harsh blasphemy law.

A district and sessions court acquitted him last month for lack of evidence.

On Friday, Hussain was at his shop when two armed men came and fired at him. He was killed instantly. The two gunmen later surrendered to police.

They were identified as Sheikh Zeeshan and Awais Ahmed, both residents Hussain's neighbourhood.

The men told police that they had killed a "blasphemer" and had no regrets over their action.

Hussain's family held a demonstration and demanded that the two men be punished.
