Police Say Pakistani Christian Girl Innocent Of Blasphemy

Revelation 6:3-4 NCV When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, "Come!" Then another horse came out, a red one. Its rider was given power to take away peace (prosperity, rest) from the earth and to make people kill each other (butcher, slaughter, to maim violently, in streets), and he was given a big sword (assassins sword, terrorist, loud, mighty, sore afraid).

Police in Pakistan have told CNN that Rimsha Masih, the 14-year-old girl accused of blasphemy for allegedly burning a Koran, is innocent and was framed by a local imam.

“There was no legal evidence against Rimsha,” officer Munir Jafri said. Her case was moved from adult to juvenile court according to her lawyer.

The Pakistani director of Human Rights Watch hailed the news.

“This is a precursor to the case ending,” Ali Dayan Hasan said. “That is quite unprecedented in the 25-year history of Pakistan’s blasphemy laws.” He noted that Pakistan courts usually go with what police recommend after investigations.

Rimsha’s family has been in hiding since the news of her being released on bail because vigilantes kill many people accused of blasphemy.

Her lawyers say that the neighbor who accused her had a personal issue with Rimsha. They claim he had a romantic interest in her and that she did not feel the same.
