A 14-year-old Pakistani girl accused of blasphemy has fled to Canada with her family, according to reports.
Rimsha Masih, a Christian, was charged last year with burning pages of the Qur'an.
The case against her was dismissed in November after it sparked international outrage -- she could have faced execution under Pakistan's blasphemy law despite her young age and reported mental problems.
A cleric was detained in September in her case on suspicion of planting evidence to fan resentment against Christians.
Despite the dropped charges, the girl and her family were reportedly forced into hiding after receiving death threats.
Rimsha has settled in Canada with her family, the BBC reports.

"They feel free," a Christian activist told the broadcaster. He said that Rimsha was learning to speak English and enjoying school.
