Pakistani Police Say Teacher Beat, Killed Blind Boy for Not Learning Koran May 30, 2008, afpnews.com A young blind boy has died after a teacher at his Islamic school in Pakistan hung him upside down and beat him for not learning the Koran, Agence France-Presse reported Friday. Teacher Qari Ziauddin allegedly hung Muhammad Atif, 7, from a ceiling fan at Qari Latif Islamic school near Lahore, Pakistan, on Thursday. Pakistani Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani has ordered an investigation into the boy’s death, AFP reported. "The Prime Minister has expressed his deep sorrow and concern over the tragic death of Muhammad Atif, who reportedly died as a result of corporal punishment by his teacher,'' an official government statement said. Pakistani police said Ziauddin has been arrested and charged in Atif’s murder. The police also report Ziauddin did not take the boy to the hospital after his condition deteriorated following the beating. Local police official Akram Niazi told AFP an autopsy report confirmed that physical torture caused Atif’s death. "Qari Ziauddin hanged Atif upside down with a ceiling fan in the school after beating him with sticks, which caused his death,'' Niazi told AFP.
