Pakistan blasphemy laws

31 dead, 58 injured, and 25 blasphemy cases – that’s the toll taken on Pakistan’s religious minorities since Prime Minister Imran Khan took office.

Stopping the released of an award-winning film to appease an Islamist group sets a troubling precedent.

The 86 were charged with damaging public property, beating people up and staging sit-ins against the acquittal of Aasia Bibi in 2018.

Pakistan’s blasphemy law needs to be sentenced to death -- not so-called 'blasphemers.'

The abandonment of the Islamist narrative has long been an existential question for Pakistan.

In a country where atheism is a capital offense, nonbelievers are still finding quiet ways to forge community.

Islamic supremacy, sadly, is written into Pakistan’s constitution.

The case of Aasia Bibi should be a wake-up call to Pakistan’s ruling elite.

Can this be Pakistan’s watershed moment for standing up to religious extremists?

Pakistan's blasphemy law is easily abused but amendments to the controversial law are unlikely.

The ruling is a reminder that Pakistan's blasphemy law is an existential threat for the state.
