A Pakistani court freed an Islamic preacher who was sentenced to death four years ago on charges of blasphemy, a defense lawyer said.
Chaudhry Mehmood Akhtar said that a judge in the city of Rawalpindi acquitted Mohammad Ishaq on February 28 after finding him “completely innocent” of insulting Islam.
Ishaq was custodian at a shrine in Punjab province when he was arrested and sentenced to death in 2013 after a citizen accused him of claiming in conversation to actually be God.
“My client is a practicing Muslim and he was a victim of false charges. Now I am doing the paperwork to get him out of a jail,” Akhtar told The Associated Press.
