A Pakistani Christian who had faced a death sentence for two years has now been acquitted.

His lawyer said the case against the accused Anjum Sandhu had been ‘clearly fabricated’, according to World Watch Monitor. Sandhu was acquitted on March 13.

The case began when Sandhu, from Gujranwala in Pakistan’s Punjab Province, went to the police to report the extortion of 20,000 rupees (£122) from him by Javed Naz and Jafar Ali, who were allegedly demanding an additional 50,000 rupees (£306).
