Chinese National Charged with Blasphemy in Pakistan Amid Ramadan Row.

A Chinese worker at a hydropower project in northern Pakistan has been charged with blasphemy after angry workers accused him of insulting the Prophet Mohammad. The man was taken to a safer location by police as crowds gathered, and was later moved to another district by military helicopter. Blasphemy is a crime under Pakistani law that can be punishable with death, and scores of people have been lynched after being accused of the crime. The crowd attacked the main district police station on Monday morning, but dispersed after being shown a copy of the case registered on blasphemy charges.
