Blasphemy protests: Pakistan schools to remain closed on Thursday

LAHORE, OCT 31 (DNA) – Private educational institutions in Pakistan, especially Punjab, will remain closed on tomorrow (Thursday), the All Pakistan Private Schools Association (APPSA) announced on Wednesday.
The decision to close the schools comes as protests are taking place in several cities of Pakistan against the acquittal of Asia Bibi, a Christian woman, nine years after she was accused of blasphemy.
A statement released by the Private Schools Association stated that due to the deteriorating situation in the capital city of Punjab and the leading arteries being blocked, the students would not be able to reach schools.
The association also called on the Sindh Education Department to announce the closure of schools.
