Chinese national arrested for blasphemy in Pakistan.

A Chinese national was arrested on blasphemy charges in Pakistan after allegedly insulting Islam and the Prophet Muhammad. The man, identified only as Mr. Tian, was arrested after a workplace disagreement with local drivers. Mob violence and attacks on people accused of blasphemy are common in Pakistan, and foreigners are rarely among those arrested. The incident occurred near the Dasu Dam, the biggest hydropower project in Pakistan, where scores of Chinese and hundreds of Pakistanis are working.
