Justice has been done and the law of the land has been upheld by the court,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It will send out a positive image of Pakistan in the international community that there is justice for all and that society has risen up for justice and tolerance.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Rimsha&#8217;s lawyer Akmal Bhatti said: &#8220;The court has quashed the case, declaring Rimsha innocent.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>An official medical report classified Rimsha as &#8220;uneducated&#8221; with a mental age younger than her years. Some reports have also claimed that she has Down&#8217;s Syndrome.<\/p>\n<p>Under Pakistan&#8217;s strict blasphemy laws, burning a sacred text is punishable with life imprisonment.<\/p>\n<p>Blasphemy is a very sensitive subject in Pakistan, where 97% of the 180 million population are Muslims and allegations of insulting Islam or the prophet Mohammed often prompt a furious public reaction.<\/p>\n<!-- Error, Advert is not available at this time due to schedule\/geolocation restrictions! -->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Who helped Rimsa Masih at burning a Koran and for what purposes ?Will Pakistan sharia state execute the child ?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":702,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[30,80,63,1,118,14],"tags":[38297,38308,38307,38310,38300,38299,636,38295,38311,38313,38312,38304,38296,38309,38301,38298,38306,38305,38302,38303],"class_list":["post-28229","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-asia","category-breaking-news","category-daily","category-general","category-hot","category-world","tag-14-year-old-rimsa-masih","tag-child-accused-of-blasphemy","tag-child-executed-pakistan","tag-christian-girl-rimsa-masih","tag-girl-on-trial","tag-mentally-handicaped-rimsa-masih","tag-pakistan","tag-pakistan-blasphemy-case","tag-pakistan-christian-girl","tag-pakistan-court-rimsa-masih","tag-pakistan-federal-cabinet","tag-pakistan-sharia-state","tag-rimsa-masih","tag-rimsa-masih-accused-blasphemy","tag-rimsa-masih-burn-koran","tag-rimsa-masih-case","tag-rimsa-masih-executed","tag-sharia-state-pakistan","tag-the-girl-who-burned-koran","tag-who-helped-rimsa-masih-for-burn-koran"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28229","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/702"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=28229"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28229\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=28229"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=28229"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=28229"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
