‘Mob vandalizes several churches, homes in #Faisalabad over #blasphemy allegations‘

Multiple churches were vandalized and Christian settlements were ransacked in Pakistan’s Faisalabad after a Christian family was accused of blasphemy. The incident was triggered by alleged derogatory remarks against the Quran made by a Christian cleaner. Enraged locals demolished the accused man’s house and vandalized churches. At least five churches were torched, and valuables were looted from homes. Despite police presence, Christians reported that their houses were attacked without intervention. An FIR was filed against the accused under Pakistan Penal Code sections 295B and 295C. Mobs targeted Christians, leading to attacks and desecration. Mob violence against religious minorities is a recurrent issue in Pakistan.
