On May 24, 2013, this writer had detailed the case of a Chinese supervisor, Lee Ping, as being the first foreigner to be involved in a blasphemy case in Pakistan (POK actually).
The writer had also speculated whether Mr. Lee would be able to escape the justice meted out to those guilty of blasphemy by doing a kind of Raymond Davis act.
Lo and behold, Mr. Lee has been able to do just that.
Two news items, one tucked away in the inner pages and the other more prominent, have escaped the notice of most.
The more prominent item was that EXIM Bank of China has signed an agreement with the Government of Pakistan to provide 448 million dollars for the 969-megawatt Neelum-Jhelum Hydropower Project.
Hello! This is the same project being executed by - you guessed it - Mr. Lee's company.
The other news item, tucked away in the middle pages, was that Mr. Lee had been found not guilty of charges of blasphemy and released.
Quite Easily Done.
