Protests in Lahore, Karachi against Badami Bagh arson
A drunken row between two friends was the trigger for blasphemy allegations following which a mob burnt more than 100 Christian homes, police and witnesses said. More than 3,000 people rampaged through Joseph Colony, a Christian area of Lahore, on March 9 after allegations that a Christian had made derogatory remarks about Prophet Muhammed (PBUH) three days earlier.—Text by AFP/Images by Agencies
