Two Christian nurses have been booked under blasphemy charges in Pakistan’s Punjab province following a complaint by hospital authorities, police said, as people staged demonstrations against the duo demanding strict action against them.
According to police, an FIR has been registered against the two nurses, Mariyum Lal and Newish Arooj, working in District Headquarters (DHQ) Hospital, Faisalabad, on Friday.
The nurses are accused of removing the stickers inscribed with Islamic verses from the wall of a hospital ward where psychiatric patients are being treated.
