Woman Beaten And Burned By Angry Mob Is Buried

A woman who was beaten with sticks and set on fire by a mob for allegedly burning the Koran has been buried in Afghanistan.

The funeral of Farkhunda was attended by hundreds of people and her coffin was carried to the graveyard by other women.

Smartphone footage has emerged of police standing by as she was lynched by a crowd of angry men on Thursday.

Investigators have since said the 27-year-old was "totally innocent", as there was no evidence that she had abused a copy of Islam's holy book.

Bari Salam, a human rights activist, said: "This is a crime against this family, a crime against a sister and a crime against humanity. All those involved and all those who supported her killing should be brought to justice."

According to Farkhunda's father, she had obtained a diploma in Islamic studies, knew the Koran off by heart and would pray five times a day.

Protests have taken place in central Kabul, where the violent attack took place, and at least 13 people have been arrested so far, including eight policemen.

One demonstrator, Mariam Mustafawi, said: "This brutal act once again shows the incompetence of the police force.

"Today our police force is unable to enforce the rule of law. How can they protect us against the enemy?"

President Ashraf Ghani has described Farkhunda's murder as a "heinous attack" - though some Afghan officials, including a high-profile cleric, have praised the killing and insisted that Muslim men have the right to protect their beliefs whatever the cost.
