Female Ahmadi Teacher Charged

Police case (FIR 71/09) was registered on 5 March 2009 against Bushra Naheed, a teacher at Government Girls High School, Jodhala, under the terms of section 295-A of the Pakistani Penal Code.

Ms Naheed is accused of inciting two labourers to attack Haleemam Bibi. This charge is absolutely denied by Ms Naheed. No such attack ever took place. However local Mullahs reported the matter to the police and school authorities. She was duly charged by the police and suspended by her school in the absence of any form of investigation. If convicted Ms Naheed could face up to ten years imprisonment.
