Presenting the progress report in Rimsha Masih case to the Senate, Malik said that the district magistrate, Islamabad, is carrying out the inquiry into the case, while the Ulema of Islamabad Council are also a part of the inquiry as observers.
He further verified the arrest of local cleric Khalid Jadoon on charges of tempering with the evidence to make the case “stronger” against Rimsha. According to the medical board, the age of Rimsha is 14 years but her mental age is around seven to eight years, Malik added.
The police had taken Rimsha into protective custody and had transferred her to a safer place after she was accused on August 16, the minister narrated.
Rimsha was granted bail by an additional sessions judge on Friday. The bail was accepted against two sureties of Rs500,000 each.

Lucky for Rimsha's family that they were able to raise this kind of money. What the poor minorities have to go under the roof of Islam! Is this what was the example of our beloved holy prophet (saw.)
I would have felt happy if those one hundred fifty people along with the cleric were shot dead before arresting 8 year IQ girl for no fault of her.
"Ulema of Islamabad Council are also a part of the inquiry as observers"
which means that Moulvi should be not charged and set free.

@IceSoul:
Do we deserve any better?
I wonder if any other country's interior minister is as inept as ours...
while the Ulema of Islamabad Council are also a part of the inquiry as observers" How come the local Bishop is not also part of the inquiry as an observer? This shows where the government's loyalities are.
Does nothing like justice exist in the land of the pure? May Allah save the land!
Classic case of the left hand not knowing what the right is doing. If Malik knows this child is innocent why didn't your govt take control of this situation and get the child released without bail. Your handling of this situation is reminiscent of your handling of the Salala/Nato supply issue --- long on emotion that ended with poor decisions and a tarnished reputation.
First of all she is a minor and above all she has a "mental age of seven or eight years old'. For God sake what you people are thinking or doing, is there any sanity left in Pakistani people. As they say Pakistanis are practicing " made in Pakistan Islam", The whole world is sneering at you and your neighbor has nothing but contempt for you but they don't show it, it is because they are educating their masses and getting to be leaders in the world community and even dreaming to be a member of Security Council in the UN, where as we are just getting backward by the day. What has happened to that Pakistan of Mr.Jinnah, he certainly did not want this kind of Pakistan. It seems that if we follow this path of destruction, it would not be too long that our country Pakistan will implode. It really hurts to see it this way.
that mullah should be stoned to death along with his supporters
