A 16-year-old boy, Nabeel Masih, was arrested and had further allegations of cyber crime made against him in September due to someone else posting religiously offensive material on his Facebook page.

He faces death, his family have been attacked by a mob and have been forced into hiding. Nabeel has also been tortured and beaten by the police and, even if he is not convicted, he faces being killed by violent extremists in a nation where he has already been marked out as worthy of death.

The police have also deleted the evidence on his phone that could have proved that he was innocent, as the material was deemed to be so offensive.
