An eight-year-old boy spent a week in a prison cell with inveterate criminals in Pakistan. His offense was that he went to the toilet located in the madrasah.
The Imam noticed how a child from the Hindu community visited the toilet in a Muslim school and declared him a blasphemer.
Blasphemy is punishable by death in Pakistan.
To protect the child from the crowd of angry Islamists who were ready to tear him to pieces, the boy was detained in a local prison for several days.
“The child still does not understand why he was detained,” said the head of the local Hindu community Ramesh Kumar . “He has no idea what blasphemy is.
Upon learning that the baby was released, a crowd of local residents smashed the Hindu temple.
Currently, 50 participants in the pogrom have been detained, but about a hundred possible attackers are still on the wanted list.
Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan condemned the attack and wrote on social media that he had already ordered the authorities to arrest all those responsible and prosecute police for negligence.
As for the child and his family, because of fears they left their home for a while.
This incident is the latest in a string of persecutions against Pakistan's Hindu minority, 95% of whose residents are Muslims.
Pakistan, according to human rights activists, is one of the states in the world that massively violate freedom of religion.
