All Pakistan Ulema Council
|
The All Pakistan Ulema Council is a Muslim organization in Pakistan whose members include Islamic clerics and legal scholars from a range of Islamic traditions. It's head is Tahir Ashrafi.[1]
In August 2012, the Council joined hands with the Pakistan Interfaith League, which includes Christians, Sikhs and other religions, and Tahir Ashrafi denounced the misuse of Pakistan's blasphemy law. The unprecedented move came after a young Christian girl thought to have Down's syndrome was charged with desecrating the Qur'an and held in prison.
