The police initially tried to guard her, but was soon outnumbered by the huge crowd. They had to witness the savagery till her body was openly put on fire.
She was savagely beaten and killed after allegedly arguing with an islamic preist who falsely accused her for the crime. Two days after the killing, the police and Ministry of Hajj and Religious Affairs declared Farkhunda innocent, that she had not burnt quran.

My request...
My question to murderers are..,
Which one do you value most? - your holy-book or a life?
It’s better that any holy book be burnt, than killing someone like this.
When people are blind, humanity is something to be laughed at…
