WASHINGTON, – The Embassy of Pakistan in Washington is extremely
disturbed over the reported desecration of the Holy Quran at Guantanamo

that the US holds religious tolerance as one of its most deeply held values
and that the alleged perpetrators of the desecration would be held accountable
after an appropriate investigation.
