End Misuse of the Blasphemy Law in Pakistan
In Pakistan, the blasphemy law carries a strict punishment for anyone deemed to have “insulted Islam.” If found guilty, the sentences can range from a heavy fine to the death penalty.
The situation is made worse by a case being based on as little as one man’s testimony.
As a result, the blasphemy law is open to being abused, and this is regularly used to settle personal scores.
Pakistani Christians – 2.5million – suffer disproportionately under the blasphemy law which is used to discriminate against all religious minorities in the country.
However, the issue is controversial, meaning that the country’s authorities are reluctant to take any action against its misuse.
Therefore we are asking you to please join our campaign to end the injustice being inflicted by the misuse of the blasphemy law in Pakistan.
Pakistan’s blasphemy law is a contentious issue around the world and it’s misuse must be stopped.
The disgrace of Pakistan’s abusive forced conversion
An estimated average of 1,000 Hindu and Christian girls are forced to convert to the Islamic faith. However, human rights organizations working on the issue believe that it is highly plausible that a substantial number of occurrences remain unreported. Forced conversion of religious minorities primarily girls, some younger than 12 years old, seemed to have become a norm not only for the Pakistani government but for the community as well.
Hardly any member of society admits to seeing the severity of the problem at hand. Moreover, government and law enforcement agencies, those with power who supposedly are knowledgeable about the laws and legalities regarding human rights, are aware of the situation yet turn a blind eye.
