Four-year-old girl murdered in Vehari
A four-year-old girl was murdered after allegedly being abducted on her way to a madrasa in Basti Chand Mari, Vehari.
Her body, bearing marks of assault with a sharp object, was found dumped in a nearby street, sparking outrage and grief across the local community.
Police said the incident occurred around 4pm when Noor Fatima, who had gone with her sister to a neighbour's house to study the Quran, stepped out briefly and never returned.
Shortly after, her body was discovered and residents immediately alerted the authorities.
District Police Officer (DPO) Mansoor Aman and SP Farooq Kamiana arrived at the scene with a police team, launched a search operation, and began collecting forensic evidence.
DPO Aman described the case as deeply regrettable and assured the public that a thorough investigation was underway.
"The entire police force is mobilised to bring the perpetrator to justice. No stone will be left unturned," he said. The preliminary investigation suggests the child was murdered using a sharp weapon.
A post-mortem examination is expected to provide further details.
The victim's father, Naveed Mughal, stated that his family is poor and has no known enemies. Her mother, Sameena, made an emotional appeal for justice, calling her daughter's murder "unimaginable and cruel."

UK judge convicts man over blasphemy
A Turkish-born man who desecrated the holy Quran in London was on Monday found guilty of a religiously aggravated public order offence, in a case taken up by free-speech campaigners. Hamit Coskun, 50, shouted blasphemous remarks as he desecrated the holy Quran outside the Turkish consulate in London last February 13. District Judge John McGarva at London's Westminster Magistrates' Court found Coskun guilty of using disorderly behaviour "within the hearing or sight of a person likely to be caused harassment, alarm or distress". He was motivated by "hostility towards members of a religious group, namely followers of Islam", said McGarva, who issued Coskun a £240 ($325) fine, with a statutory surcharge of £96. "Your actions in burning the Koran where you did were highly provocative, and your actions were accompanied by bad language in some cases directed toward the religion and were motivated at least in part by hatred of followers of the religion," said the judge. State prosecutors insisted Coskun was not being prosecuted for burning the book. AFP

Iranian rapper details mock execution and escape to freedom
Listen to article Iranian-Kurdish rapper Saman Yasin thought he was being released from prison when guards ordered him to pack his belongings at 5 a.m. Instead, he was blindfolded, placed under a noose, and subjected to a mock execution. 'I was under that noose for about 15 minutes, I think,' Yasin told CNN in an exclusive interview. He recalled hearing a cleric reciting the Quran over him, urging him to repent 'so that you go to heaven.' Yasin, now in Berlin, spent two years in Iranian prisons for participating in the 2022 "Woman, Life, Freedom" protests. He joined street demonstrations and recorded anti-regime songs following the death of 22-year-old Iranian-Kurdish woman Mahsa Amini, who died after being arrested for allegedly not complying with Iran's hijab law. The protests, met with severe government suppression, have led to over 500 deaths, including 49 women and 68 children, according to a United Nations report. CNN has not been able to independently verify the exact number of casualties due to Iran's lack of transparency. After enduring what he calls 'severe torture' aimed at forcing a false confession, Yasin made a perilous escape from Iran and now speaks out about his experiences. His testimony sheds light on the brutal tactics used by the Iranian regime to silence dissent.
