Sargodha, Pakistan: Rights Group Decries Bail Blasphemy Rioters

Pakistani rights group has slammed the authorities in Sargodha district of Punjab province for bailing out most Muslims arrested for their alleged involvement in lynching a Christian accused of committing blasphemy.

Human Rights Focus Pakistan (HRFP) said it is “highly concerned” about the quick post-arrest bails of 52 Sargodha mob attackers on Nazir Masih family.

The bail puts a question mark on the authorities’ attempts to deliver justice for the victim of mob violence, the group said in a statement on June 16.
