Pakistan: no justice

On 24 March, an Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) in Lahore, acquitted 20 men suspected of involvement in the murder of a Christian couple burnt alive at the kiln where they worked in November 2014 after it was alleged that they had set fire to some pages from a Qur’an.

Previously, in April 2016, the ATC allowed the kiln’s owner, Yousuf Gujjar, to walk free. The same court in November 2016 sentenced five men to death and jailed another eight men for two years.
