| Blasphemy case victory in Multan District
We are delighted to announce another victory for a blasphemy victim supported by CLAAS in Multan District. Dildar Masih, 29, was falsely accused of blasphemy by Muslims in his home village of Mian Channu last June. Students from the local mosque approached his young nephew, Sunny Masih, and told him to recite the Kalma. When he refused, they started to beat him. Dildar saw this and rushed to his nephew’s aid.
