Girl accused of blasphemy to be held in prison

A Pakistani court ordered a Christian girl accused of blasphemy to be held in prison for two more weeks as police finalise charges.Her lawyer, Tahir Naveed Chausdhury said the court's decision was procedural, since her initial detention ended a day earlier. He said he hopes to have her freed on bail tomorrow. Footage broadcast on Pakistan's Express News showed the girl in court covered in a white sheet to protect her identity.
