A Christian student from Karachi was nearly killed after being stabbed in an attack by Muslim classmates on 15 February.
The incident began when Haroon Irfan, a Christian student at Government Mohammadi School in Karachi, reported that his Muslim classmate, Muhammad Majid, stole and damaged his school notebook.
Small Einstein
According to the school’s headmaster, Muhammad Aftab, Haroon is known by the nickname ‘small Einstein’ because of his intelligence.
Pressure by Police
As is common with attacks by Muslims on Christians, the student’s parents were pressured by the police to not press charges. The family declared they want justice. The violent incident resulted from unchecked religious intolerance in Pakistan’s educational system.
