It is pertinent to mention that 104 accused of this case are in jail. The Voice Society is pursuing Double Murder case of Burnt Alive Christian Couple in Kot Radha Kishan. Shazad Masih and his wife Shama Bibi, who was five months pregnant, were tortured by an enraged mob over a false accusation of burning pages of the Qur’an; they were then burned to death on November 4.
