AsiaNews, Shafique Khokhar: Charges of desecrating the pages of the Qurʾān saw three young Christian women, including two minors, placed under arrest.
It was later discovered that none of the charges were true, but by then the news had spread across their Karachi neighbourhood, provoking a violent reaction by local Islamic radicals who forced some 200 Christian families living in the area to abandon their homes to save themselves. Report is here.
