ISLAMABAD – A Pakistani court has sentenced a Christian youth to death and 22 years in prison, along with a Rs10lac fine, for allegedly sharing an inciting social media post that sparked riots in Jaranwala last August.
Special Judge Ziaullah Khan of An anti-terrorism court (ATC) in Sahiwal announced the verdict after allegations of Quran desecration led to mob violence, resulting in extensive damage to Christian homes and churches.
Over hundred people were booked by Punjab police, but according to Advocate Akmal Bhatti, chairman of the Minorities Alliance, most have been released, with only 12 still facing trial.
Earlier this year, Faisalabad court acquitted two Christian brothers who were wrongly accused of blasphemy. The convicted youth was charged under various sections including blasphemy and electronic crimes, based on allegations that he shared blasphemous content on social platforms.
