Teacher murdered after girl dreamed she had blasphemed the Prophet Muhammad

Three women murdered today in Pakistan a teacher who was accused of blaspheming against the prophet Muhammad by a young woman, who claimed that the alleged offense was revealed to her in a dream, police sources revealed to Efe.

The three accused, belonging to the same family, declared to the Police after their arrest that the blasphemy was revealed to them by a 13-year-old girl to whom they are related.

“In their statement, the three women said that the girl they are related to saw in her dreams that Safora Bibi committed blasphemy against the prophet, so they killed her.”Sagheer Gilani, a senior police official from the city of Dera Ismail Khan, in the northeastern province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, where the incident took place, told Efe.

The source explained that Bibi24 years old, arrived at the madrasa or Koranic school where he worked around 7:30 in the morning local time (2:30 GMT), where he met the three women, who also work as teachers in another religious institution in the area.

The detainees, aged 24, 21 and 17, slit the victim’s throat after an argument, Gilani added.

“The police are investigating (what happened) from all angles, because people use accusations of blasphemy as a tool to escape justice,” concluded.

These accusations are often a trigger for violence in the country, which It has a tough blasphemy law established in British colonial times to prevent religious clashes.

In the 1980s, several reforms sponsored by the then dictator, Mohamed Zia-ul-Haq, favored the abuse of this rule.

Since then there have been a thousand accusations for blasphemya crime that can carry the death penalty in Pakistan, although no one has ever been executed for it.

Last February a violent mob lynched a man, who according to his relatives suffered from a mental disorder, whom the attackers accused of blasphemy for having allegedly burned some pages of the Koran in East Pakistan.

Last December, a violent mob lynched and set fire to the body of a man of Sri Lankan origin in the northeastern Pakistani city of Sialkot, allegedly for committing blasphemy.

This action provoked the condemnation of international organizations and the Government of Sri Lanka.
