Two Christian women were beaten up and publicly humiliated on charges of blasphemy in Pak

Two Christian women were beaten up and publicly humiliated by an angry mob on charges of blasphemy in Pakistan.

The incident took place on Jan. 12 in Lahore after a Muslim woman accused her Christian sister-in-law of abusing Prophet Mohammed.

The two women had a trivial dispute following which the Muslim woman went out on the street and leveled charges against the Christian.

Later, a group of men led by Muhammad Sameer, a member of a religious organization, forced their way into the Christian woman’s house and slapped her and her mother, her brother said.

He said their neighbors also started beating them.

Khadim Hazoor, Sameer’s son-in-law, said the mob blackened the Christian women’s faces and forced them to wear shoes on their necks and paraded them in the village on donkeys.

“The crowd showed no mercy even as the women repeatedly touched the feet of the men denying committing blasphemy and asked for forgiveness,” Hazoor added.

The Christian family has left the neighborhood after the incident.

The incident comes days after Pakistan’s Punjab Governor Salman Taseer was killed for supporting Asia Bibi, a Christian woman sentenced to death for blasphemy.
