Blasphemy girl

A PAKISTANI jail official says that a young Christian girl accused burning pages of the Islam's holy book has been freed from a jail near the capital. The release comes a day after a judge granted her bail. Mushtaq Awan says the girl left the prison in Rawalpindi, a garrison town outside Islamabad, yesterday afternoon. She has been held for a little over three weeks after neighbors accused her of violating the country's strict blasphemy law.
