The funeral of a Sri Lankan man who was beaten to death in Pakistan has been held in his home country.
A crowd attacked Priyantha Kumara Diyawadana in Sialkot, Pakistan, before dragging him into the streets and setting him on fire.
Staff at the factory where he worked had accused him of destroying a religious poster.
