On the night of Thursday, June 20th, a group of enraged individuals lynched a man in the Madyan area of Swat district, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, Pakistan, accusing him of Quran desecration.
According to reports, the victim hailed from Sialkot district in Punjab province, Pakistan, and was visiting Swat as a tourist. A Muslim mob accused him of burning pages of the Quran, which they used as justification for lynching him.
Initially, Swat police detained the ‘blasphemy accused’ to maintain public order. However, a mob later stormed the police station, forcibly removed the victim, and took him away.
