LAHORE, Pakistan — A judge in Pakistan recently acquitted all 115 suspects charged with burning more than 150 homes belonging to Christians in 2013, according to The Christian Post.
The suspects, who had been charged with attempted murder, robbery, arson and terrorism, were released Jan. 28 after the judge claimed the prosecutors lacked evidence, the Post reported. They were among a mob of about 3,000 Muslims who burned houses, shops and a church.
The burnings — conducted on the grounds that a Christian had blasphemed Muhammad — were seen as the largest attack against Christians since nine were killed in 2009 in the same area. (TAB)
