Prosecutor unable to produce any evidence despite clamoring of Muslim mobs.
A Pakistani Christian falsely charged with "blasphemy" after rescuing his 8-year-old nephew from a beating at the hands of Muslim boys has been cleared of the charge.
Dildar Masih, a 27-year-old father of two young children, was acquitted on March 26 after prosecutors failed to produce any evidence against him, he said.
"I was produced in court three times during the case proceedings, but not one accuser ever turned up at the hearings," Masih told Compass by phone.

I had not been taken to the hearing that day; only my lawyer, Javed Raza, and father were present in the courtroom." Read more
