Dispute Over Blasphemy On Quran Brought To Court

Rao Abdur Raheem, a lawyer for a Musliam cleric who brought a complaint against a Christian girl for burning a Quran, briefs reporters about a court proceeding in Islamabad, Pakistan Monday, Sept. 3, 2012. The Muslim cleric is accused of stashing pages of Quran in the girl’s bag to make it seem like she burned the Islamic holy book, a surprising twist in a case that caused an international outcry over the country’s strict blasphemy laws. <AP Photo/Anjum Naveed>
