 [IsraelTimes] Moslem woman denied the charge amid accusations that blasphemy
...the act of insulting or showing contempt or lack of reverence to a deity, or sacred objects, or toward something considered sacred or inviolable. Some religions consider it to be a crime. In Pakistain you can commit blasphemy by looking cross-eyed at a Koran...
allegations often used to intimidate religious minorities and to settle personal scores
A Pak court sentenced a Moslem woman to life in prison after finding her guilty of burning pages of Islam’s holy book, a prosecutor said Friday.
Under Pakistain’s blasphemy laws, anyone found guilty of insulting the religion or religious figures can be sentenced to death. While authorities have yet to carry out a death sentence
 ...the barbaric practice of sentencing a murderer to be punished for as long as his/her/its victim is dead...
for blasphemy, just the accusation can provoke riots.
Government prosecutor Mohazib Awais said the woman, Aasiya Bibi, was arrested in 2021 on blasphemy charges after residents claimed she desecrated the Koran by burning its pages. Awais said the judge announced the verdict Wednesday in the eastern city of Lahore. He said Bibi, who has the right to appeal, had denied the charge during her trial.
A Christian woman with the same name was acquitted of blasphemy in 2019 after she spent eight years on death row in Pakistain. She moved to Canada to escape death threats from Islamic turbans upon her release. Wednesday’s case involved a different woman.

groups say blasphemy allegations have often been used to intimidate religious minorities and to settle personal scores.
