In Lahore, 17-year-old Christian boy #PatrasMasih is accused of #blasphemy on social media by a local cleric. An angry mob led by Tehreek-e-Labaiak gathered outside Masih's house in Shahdara. Police lodged FIR under 295-C and the boy's father Indreas was arrested yesterday. 
Later, teenager accused of blasphemy #PatrasMasih handed himself to the police. Situation in Shahdara remains tense as several Christian families have fled the area fearing for life. However, Pakistani media's silence in such cases of #blasphemy has become a new normal. #Pakistan
Pakistan govt proposes same sentence for blasphemers, false accusers. Easier said than done. Once someone is even accused of #blasphemy, they are doomed! The mob doesn't care about the accuser/accusation. Case in point: #MashalKhan #AsiaBibi #JunaidHafeez tribune.com.pk/story/1637205/…
Victims of #Pakistan's #blasphemy vigilantism: Blasphemy accused Patras Masih's cousin 24-year-old Sajid called on for investigation, ends up 'falling off' FIA 4th floor. He's in critical condition now. Tehreek-e-Labbaik goons were also present at the time pakistantoday.com.pk/2018/02/24/bla…
Some bullshit - FIA cybercrime unit feigned ignorance about incident, later claimed that suspect was attempting to escape during investigation.
Running for life seems more like it.

Injured Sajid Masih says FIA Agency officials tortured him & later coerced him into having sex with his younger cousin Patras Masih. All this in the name of blasphemy? Shameful. @CMShehbaz will you bother taking any action against FIA Punjab? pakistantoday.com.pk/2018/02/24/fia…
“I pleaded them that I can’t have sex with my brother, which made them [FIA officials] angry. However, they insisted and I had no option but to jump through the window of the room,” Sajid says in the video.
