The detainees, aged 24, 21 and 17, they slit the victim’s throat after an argumenta fact that is being investigated “from all angles, because people use accusations of blasphemy as a tool to escape justiceGilani concluded.
These accusations often trigger violence in the countrywhich has a tough blasphemy law established in British colonial times to prevent religious clashes.
In the 1980s, several reforms sponsored by the then dictator, Mohamed Zia-ul-Haq, favored the abuse of this rule, and since then, there have been a thousand accusations of this crime, which in Pakistan can carry the death penalty, though no one has ever been executed for it.
