Muslim colleagues have accused two Christian nurses in Pakistan of committing ‘blasphemy’ by removing a sticker that had a Qur’anic text written on it.
The nurse removed the sticker while cleaning the head nurse’s cupboard and gave it to the head nurse before finishing her night shift. The following morning the head nurse accused her of desecrating the inscription.
Staff nurse Maryam Lal was attacked and injured with a knife before police arrived at the Civil Hospital Faisalabad to take her and nursing student Newsh Arooj away from the building for their protection.
