A Christian pensioner has been arrested for blasphemy after her refused to sell his land to a Muslim man.
According to anti-persecution charity Release International, Mukhtar Masih, 70, is accused of pinning a blasphemous letter to the door of a mosque in Gujanwala, Punjab.
The letter made derogatory remarks about the Koran and Muhammad.
Blasphemy is a crime punishable by death in Pakistan.
