IT IS UNFAIR TO KEEP RIMSHA IN JAIL, SAYS PAKISTAN TEHREEK E INSAF

Pakistan Tehreek e Insaf has noticed with regret that 11 year old Rimsha is still languishing in jail. Besides being underage she is also suffering from a serious disability called downs syndrome. There is little doubt that she is unfit to determine what is blasphemous or not. Extending her remand for another 14 days is a travesty of justice.

Pakistan Tehreek e Insaf strongly believes that no one should be allowed to injure the religious feelings of anybody and therefore Blasphemy laws are necessary. If someone indeed commits blasphemy he or she should be proceeded against under the law. But, in application its crucial for the law enforcement agencies to proceed with caution and distinguish between genuine cases of blasphemy and those cases where certain people are misusing the law to settle personal scores or as in this case the accused is underage and handicapped.

The onus thus is on law enforcement agencies to ensure that the application of the law is fair. In this case it does not appear to be so.

Rimsha should forgiven because of her Age. Prophet Mohammad PBUH had forgiven many people for their Bigger sins than what this 11 yrs old has done. We should follow our Prophet and Kill Bill series should stop in ou country...

غیر اسلامی لا ھے اسی لیے تو پاکستانی آئین کا حصہ ھے۔اس آئین کو بنانے والے خود کونسا مسلمان تھے۔بھٹو اینڈ کمپنی سب شرابی اور زانی جمع تھے ایک دو کو چھوڑ کر۔ھر غیر اسلامی چیز اس آئین کا حصہ بنا دی گئ ھے

[Hathamreborn]

I wonder just 1 man saw the burnt pages of Quran and whole society believed it, may be that person was lying

 

[LovelyVirus]

Why 'someone burning Quran' burns sheep followers at first place? It's not like the message in Quran vanishes by burning a copy of it. This is height of insecurity and actually shows that the so called muslims worship the materialistic aspect of Quran and doesn't actually follow what is written in it because the masters of sheeps have forbidden to do so (in order to keep their halwa shop shinning).

 

[Vitamin_C]

Better for her to be in jail for the moment, if they send her out some lunatics will fix her to a cross and burn her.

I agree....If someone indeed commits blasphemy he or she should be proceeded against under the law. But, in application its crucial for the law enforcement agencies to proceed with caution and distinguish between genuine cases of blasphemy and those cases where certain people are misusing the law to settle personal scores or as in this case the accused is underage and handicapped.....It is really the issue of misuse of law ...
