In Bangladesh, a man was beaten to death and then burned for “desecrating” the Koran. Reported by Franceinfo.
It is noted that a crowd of several hundred people was able to rescue from custody two men who were accused of stepping on the Koran in the main mosque in Burimari. It is known that the police unsuccessfully tried to prevent the lynching of citizens.
“They beat one of them to death and then burned the body,” said the district police chief. It is known that the 50-year-old deceased suffered from a mental disorder. In addition, the angry mob also set fire to the municipal office. The second victim of the attack is reported to be seriously injured. Radical Islamists in Bangladesh have recently been gathering more and more supporters.
Earlier it was reported that the Bangladesh authorities will change the law and will execute the rapists. The country's leadership went for it after several days of mass demonstrations over sexual violence.
