Govt official says Imans in Pakland have been molesting kids - Govt official threatened w death
There were 500 complaints[probably many, many more who would have complained but for intimidation] this year of abuse allegedly committed by clerics, Aamer Liaquat Hussain, a minister in the religious affairs department, said.... That compares with 2,000 last year, [probably the intimidation was more effective this year] but as yet there have been no successful prosecutions, Mr Hussain told the BBC... Mr Hussain said he had received death threats from clerics, but that he had done his job and his conscience was clear....The allegations involving Pakistan's Sunni majority and Shia minority referred to a tiny proportion of the country's 10,000 or so madrassas, he said [again probably because others are afraid to complain] Posted by: mhw 2004-12-12 |
