HARIPUR: 
A seminary student was hospitalised after being tortured by his teacher in Tehsil Ghazi on Sunday.
Thirteen-year-old Waqas Khan was allegedly hung from his feet, beaten with sticks, and repeatedly burnt with hot iron rods for two days by his seminary teacher, who accused him of stealing his mobile phone.
The boy’s father, Dilawar Khan, however, has pardoned the perpetrator on request of a local jirga, according to police and family sources.
Khan, a local nanbai of Ghara village, said he was informed by a student of Madressa Jamia Mohsnia Rizviya Ahyaul Uloom on Saturday that his son was being subjected to severe corporal punishment. When Khan reached the seminary he found his son lying unconscious, beaten and bruised. He said the seminary administration was reluctant in allowing him to take his son to the hospital, but ceded when he protested.
Waqas was admitted to Tehsil Headquarter Hospital, where doctors confirmed that the boy was physical tortured. The hospital’s medical officer, Dr Ayaz, said the boy carries burn marks and bruise all over his body.
When Waqas regained consciousness, he narrated his ordeal, saying that his seminary teacher lost his temper after losing his mobile phone and began accusing him of stealing it. He said his teacher disrobed him and hung him upside down, and repeatedly punched him, beat him sticks and metal bars, and burnt him with hot iron rods trying to make him confess to a crime he did not commit. He said he told the teacher that he did not steal his phone but the teacher was adamant on holding him responsible, he said sobbingly. He vowed never to resume his studies at the seminary.
The boy was tortured for two days before one of his classmates informed his brother-in-law, who then told his father. The accused was arrested but later released by Senior House Officer of Ghazi police station on grounds that the family did not register a criminal case against him.
Human rights activist, Advocate Khursheed Khan, condemned the incident and demanded legal action against the seminary teacher. He alleged that the boy’s poor family was forced into pardoning the perpetrator under pressure and called for probing the incident.
When the boy’s father was asked why he pardoned the teacher, he said, “What else could I have done when everybody was out to support the influential teacher”.

முஸ்லீம் கணவன் அடித்தான் என்று புகார் செய்ததற்காக மனைவிக்கு கடுங்காவல் தண்டனை

முஸ்லீம் கணவன் அடித்தான் என்று புகார் செய்ததற்காக மனைவிக்கு கடுங்காவல் தண்டனைEgyptian Woman Ends Behind Bars
KUWAIT CITY, May 20: An Egyptian woman who went to file a complaint against her husband, ended up behind bars, reports Al-Shahed daily.
The woman went to a police station to complain about her husband who was maltreating her and beating her for no reason. When the investigating officer asked the woman for the marriage contract she said she does not have one.
She added she got married to the man through ‘urfi’ (Urfi is a kind of Muslim marriage similar to the nikah ceremony but without an official contract. Couples repeat the words, ‘We got married’ and pledge commitment before God. Usually a paper, stating that the two are married, is written and two witnesses sign it) which is considered ‘illegal’ in Kuwait.
It is said most Muslim countries do not recognize urfi marriages and no partner can get a ‘legal’ divorce.

Religious intolerance: Hindu temple vandalised in Peshawar

Published: May 21, 2012
" The Hindu community will remain calm and record its protest peacefully," Representative of the Hindu community Haroon Sarblal.
PESHAWAR: In a brazen act of vandalism, unidentified men sneaked into a Hindu temple in the capital city of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa on Sunday, smashed a holy figurine and burnt down scriptures and images of deities.
“We opened the temple around 6pm and found all holy scriptures and images burnt down. A statuette of Lord Shiva was also smashed to pieces,” Ramesh Lal, a priest at Guru Gorakhnath temple, told The Express Tribune.
The temple is situated in the Gorgathri neighbourhood inside the walled city.
Peshawar, which is believed to be one of the oldest living cities of South Asia, houses dozens of monuments and structures from the Buddhist, Hindu, Sikh and British eras.
The priest said that the community had reported the incident to the local police who gave them the customary cold-shoulder.
“Vandals smashed a statuette of Lord Shiva to pieces and burnt down the holy Gita as well as several images of our deities,” Lal said. The temple, according to him, did not have armed guards because the government pays scant attention to the security needs of a Hindu place of worship.
According to Lal, the 160-year-old temple was named after a Hindu pontiff Guru Goraknath. The local Hindu community had abandoned the temple following the 1947 partition of the subcontinent. For decades no ritual was undertaken within the temple ground until the Peshawar High Court handed over its custody to the Hindu community a few months ago.
“This desecration and vandalism has hurt the religious sentiments of our community. Lack of cooperation from police and administration has added insult to the injury,” Lal said and added that the police were reluctant to concede that the temple had holy images and figurines.
“When the temple was reopened [after the PHC verdict] after almost six decades, we imported a figurine from India which cost us hundreds of thousands of rupees,” Lal claimed.
Haroon Sarblal, a representative of the Hindu community, condemned the incident as ‘unacceptable’. He called upon the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa government to arrest the vandals and provide security guards for the temple.
“If the government wants the Hindu community to remain calm, it should arrest the vandals and punish them accordingly,” Sarblal toldThe Express Tribune.
These acts of vandalism and desecration  are a deliberate attempt to create communal tension in the city, he said. However, he vowed that the Hindu community would remain calm and record its protest peacefully.
No group has claimed responsibility for the vandalism – but past attacks on the shrines of Muslim Sufi saints and spiritual figures have been blamed on Taliban insurgents.

'Donkey rape' sparks tribal massacre in Yemen

Fifteen people were killed or injured in tribal fighting

Fifteen people were killed or injured in tribal fighting in Yemen after a male donkey chased an ass and raped it just near the house of its owner.
Newspapers in Yemen said the owner of the ass got mad after he saw the donkey attacking his animal, prompting him to chase the donkey and hit it.
The attack infuriated the donkey owner, who called his armed tribe men and asked them to take revenge.
“The problem snowballed into an armed fight between Makabis tribe, which owns the donkey, and Bani Abbas which owns the ass…15 people were either killed or injured in the battle,” the Saudi Arabic language daily Aleqtisadiah said, quoting newspapers in Yemen.
A large police force intervened and stopped the fighting at a village in the southwestern province of Abb, newspapers said, adding that police had arrested eight persons involved in the conflict.
