PAKISTAN-RELIGION-UNREST
This photograph taken on February 15, 2017 shows Malik Bashir Awan, father of Mumtaz Qadri, who was hanged last year for the murder of a governor who criticized Pakistan's blasphemy law and defended a Christian woman, speaking in an interview with AFP at his son's shrine on the outskirts of Islamabad.
Pakistan has renewed its vow to root out extremism after a fresh wave of attacks, but a rose-covered shrine in Islamabad built by radicals to glorify an Islamist murderer sends a different message. Followers of Mumtaz Qadri are set to fete him as a hero at his tomb Monday, the start of a three-day festival marking the anniversary of his hanging on February 29, 2016.
