Islamabad, Jun 3 (EFE).- A Pakistani court on Thursday acquitted a Christian couple who had been sentenced to death in 2014 for alleged blasphemy and ordered their release from prison.
The ruling comes after the European Parliament had condemned the case and pressured Pakistani authorities to absolve the couple, who had been found guilty of insulting the Prophet Muhammad in a text message.
“The court order said both are acquitted of the charge (…) We will challenge the verdict in the Supreme Court and we are hopeful of getting justice there,” the complainant’s lawyer, Ghulam Mustafa, told Efe after the decision by the Lahore High Court.
