What can YOU say in six sentences?
Islamabad
Her name is Ramsha. She is Christian.
She was accused of burning pages of the Koran, though there is lack of evidence.
She was arrested on August 16 for blasphemy after hundreds of Muslim men descended on her home in an impoverished Christian-Muslim neighborhood near Pakistan's capital, Islamabad, where they demanded police action.
Blasphemy convictions carry an automatic death sentence.
Ramsha is eleven, and she has Down syndrome.

This story is chilling. The starkness of the prose is perfect for telling this poor girl's story. Great job, Teresa.

I like the way you presented this, T. Waiting until the final sentence to reveal her age and circumstance was especially powerful.

We execute people in this country with IQs of 58. It happened numerous times in Texas when Bush was governor. We individually despise this kind of horrible event but as a nation we sure don't have the moral high ground.

Fuck all sky-god religions, theirs and ours. They've brought hell to humans for 10,000 years, this Islamabad business being merely one of the more egregious examples.
