He is an eight-year-old Hindu boy, who received bail last week and there was a violent group of Musl!ms attacking a temple in Pakistan's Bhong in retaliation, Now he has become the youngest person ever to be charged with blasphemy in the country.

From an Undisclosed location, Family member of the boy quoted to "The Guardian"
He [the boy] is not even aware of such blasphemy issues and he has been falsely indulged in these matters. He still doesn’t understand what his crime was and why he was kept in jail for a week.

“We have left our shops and work, the entire community is scared and we fear backlash. We don’t want to return to this area. We don’t see any concrete and meaningful action will be taken against the culprits or to safeguard the minorities living here.”

According to the Guardian, no executions for blasphemy have been carried out since 1986.

Despite this, suspects will often be attacked and, in extreme cases, killed by outraged mobs.

I strongly urge and recommend
@DrSJaishankar and @MEAIndia to look into the matter with immediate attention and Sincerely request them to ensure protection for that 8 year old boy and his family.

Justice for #8yearoldhinduboy is of essence and time is running out. I sincerely request all those tagged and those viewing to tag authorities and bring it to their cognizance to ensure safety of this kid and his family.
