A large number of activists of religio-political parties and religious organisations staged a rally here on Friday in protest against the conviction of 31 accused in the Mashal Khan lynching case by the Abbotabad antiterrorism court.
Mashal Khan, a student of the Abdul Wali Khan University, Mardan, was lynched by a mob on alleged blasphemy charges in April last year. On Wednesday, the antiterrorism court handed down capital punishment to the prime accused and varying jail terms to 30 others. However, it acquitted 26 accused for lack of evidences against them.
Most of the participants of the rally belonged to the Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam (Fazl), the Jamaat-i-Islami (JI), the Aalmi Majlis Tahaffuz Khatm-i-Nubuwat (AMTKN) and local religious organisations.
