Mobs and minorities
November 06, 2014 12:30
For minority communities in Pakistan, life appears to be becoming more and more precarious.
They have been subjected to mob attacks before, on residential localities in Lahore, Gojra and other places, which have affected scores of people.
Another such dastardly attack took place on November 4 at a brick-kiln at Kot Radha Kishan, about 60 kilometres southwest of Lahore, where a Christian couple was first beaten to death by a mob, which had accused it of desecrating the Holy Quran, and their bodies then burnt at the same kiln where they laboured. There are few details available about the gory incident, which has been confirmed by the local police.
