|
[KhaamaPress] Amnesty International announced on Sunday, October 6, that cases of killings on charges of 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...
have increased in Pakistain. The organization reported that in September alone, at least two individuals were killed by coppers in the provinces of Sindh and Balochistan
...the Pak province bordering Kandahar and Uruzgun provinces in Afghanistan and Sistan Baluchistan in Iran. Its native Baloch propulation is being displaced by Pashtuns and Punjabis and they aren't happy about it...
for alleged blasphemy.
Amnesty International noted that since the beginning of 2024, at least four people have been killed in Pakistain on blasphemy charges.
The organization added that in September, a 32-year-old Moslem doctor in the Umarkot district of Sindh province was killed by Pak police after being accused of blasphemy.
In the same month, a 52-year-old Moslem man, the owner of a hotel in Quetta, Balochistan, was also killed by police on similar charges.
Amnesty International highlighted that since Pakistain gained independence in 1947, 107 people have been killed on blasphemy charges. Among the victims, nine were teachers, and 48 belonged to religious minorities.
The organization has called on Pak authorities to take effective measures to prevent such incidents and hold those responsible for these killings accountable. Amnesty International also urged the government to repeal all blasphemy laws in the country.
