It's claimed the extremists assaulted 27-year-old street cleaner Humayun Masih in the area of Gulvan Rasi in the city of Lahore after the rubbish he put in the bin contained shreds of the Quran, according to the British Pakistani Christian Association (BPCA).
Wilson Chaudhry, from the BPCA, told Premier: "This latest false blasphemy allegation and the rioting that ensued after local Muslims were stirred up by hate speech in local mosques, is indicative of the low worth and infidel status of Christians in Pakistan.
"That a man could face a life or death sentence simply for undertaking his role as a sweeper is a poor indictment of the country's legal system.
Worse still as a government employee should he not be protected against false accusations such as these and compensated for his losses?"
BPCA claims Humayan Masih was spared being burnt alive because fellow Christians saved him by taking him to a police station.
Masih, who is believed to suffer from mental health problems, was then arrested and charged with blasphemy.
Another Christian anti-persecution charity, CLAAS, has said extremists also attacked a church and Christian homes in Gulvan Rasi. The BPCA said hundreds of people were involved in the rioting.
Police took four hours stop the hundreds of rioters. It's understood officers are currently guarding the area against further attacks.
