What Mohammad Arif Ali and his brother did shocked Pakistan.
What Mohammad Arif Ali and his brother did shocked Pakistan.
We began by following an oxcart-rutted dirt track for as far as it would go in Punjab province. Then we walk another kilometre or so through humid maize and sugarcane plantations to reach the farmhouse.
The brothers are not there, their uncle, Wali Deen, tells me. He is also not happy to see me.
"Interview the corpse-eaters? They didn't eat corpses. They are just the victims of their neighbours' jealousy," he says defiantly.

Wali Deen insists that his nephews are not cannibals.
Wali Deen insists that his nephews are not cannibals.
Because they killed no one and there is no law relating to cannibalism in Pakistan, the pair only served about two years in jail for desecrating a grave following their arrest in April 2011.
The overwhelming evidence of cannibalism created a serious law and order situation in the area around the small desert town of Darya Khan, located along the western fringes of Punjab, some 200km (124 miles) south of the capital, Islamabad.
In June, people of the town were stunned when the brothers were released from jail. Angry protesters set tyres on fire on a major highway in the area, blocking traffic for several hours.
The police had to take the brothers into protective custody to prevent them from being lynched. Their whereabouts since their release have been largely unknown.

Though much has already been said of the tar sands oil industry, which is currently experiencing a boom and has spurred several high profile pipeline expansions across the US, the accumulation of the petroleum coke, commonly referred to as pet coke, along the Detroit riverfront went largely unnoticed until this week.
National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden left transit zone of a Moscow airport and entered Russia after authorities granted him temporary asylum, his lawyer said Thursday.
Moscow -- Edward Snowden finally managed to break free of his confinement at the transit zone of Moscow's international airport when he was granted Russian travel documents Thursday, after which he hopped in a cab and left for a secret location, his Russian lawyer said.
"Edward was granted a one-year asylum and I just saw him to a taxi out of the airport," Anatoly Kucherena said in an interview with the Los Angeles Times. "It is up to him to choose a residence inside Russia, but his location will remain secret for the duration of his stay."
"For the most wanted man on earth," Kucherena added, "personal safety is his No. 1 priority now."
Snowden, who is wanted by the United States for leaking highly classified documents from his work as a consultant for the National Security Agency, had been effectively trapped at Moscow's Sheremetyevo International Airport since June 23, when he arrived on a flight from Hong Kong. He was intending to change planes in Moscow, apparently for Latin America, but was caught in limbo when the United States canceled his passport.

Of course, all you're reading is stories about the 12.2% year-over-year price surge that's started the buzz about the next housing bubble. And it's true too, housing prices have gone up. Financial manipulation and corporate propaganda DO work, even in an no-growth, high unemployment economy where half the college graduates under 30 are shackled to loans they'll never repay, where one-in-six people scrape by on food stamps, and where "four out of 5 U.S. adults struggle with joblessness, near-poverty or reliance on welfare for at least parts of their lives."

A survey of savers, by pollsters CSA, found that as well using them, more people preferred to have overdraft options on their accounts in case of emergency.
It also found an increasing number of people preferred to become overdrawn for short periods rather than raid their savings accounts to make up the balance in their current account.
One in two people said they used their overdraft at least once a year, with one in five using it once a month according to the survey.
Many of the financial problems associated with overdrafts do not come from the overdrafts themselves (which can be free for some accounts), but with the fees associated with going over their limits.
A spokesman for Crédit Agricole said: "A decade ago this only concerned people who could not pay back their debts. Today we find more and more retirees and poor workers."
Rising costs of essentials such as housing and energy payments were behind many of these cases said the spokesman.
The Mayor of a small French town has admitted he was unaware of giving permission to build a retirement village for gay people.
Yves Bastié, mayor of Sallèles d'Aude, gave the thumbs up to the construction of a holiday-retirement village as something he had long campaigned for.
But the mayor has admitted he was unaware that the project, put forward by the British company Villages Group, was destined to be a "private oasis for the over-50s gay and lesbian community".
"I knew nothing about it," he said. "I've asked my colleagues to check this information, but if it is the case, I think the least thing would have been to inform me."
While the project was presented to the mairie, images of a heterosexual couples were used, but on the English website of the group the illustrations are of gay couples.
The plan is for 104 eco-friendly homes plus a hotel, restaurant and sports centre in a gated community with concierge services and riverside access.
The entry price for a home is €236,000, plus €70 a week maintenance and service charge which also covers activities.
