BLASPHEMY LAW IN ACTION

Blasphemy laws are enshrined in constitutions of a number of Countries. The laws are divisive and anti minority religious groups in nations that promote use of laws that seek to preserve particular beliefs. Insulting Supreme Being , God , or religion of peoples and prophets of God are punishable under blasphemy laws. Death penality , life imprisonment and serving jail terms are included in the punishment regime. Stoning , beheadings and amputations of limbs have been employed in application of such laws. Which are aimed at prevending others from offending religious feelings , places of worship and sacred symbols and prophets of God. Blasphemy charges have been made against minorities with different beliefs to the dominant one. To settle personal scores and enable persecution of perceived enemies. Last Wednesday Supreme Court of Pakistan acquitted Pakistani Christian lady , Asia Bibi , of Blasphemy Conviction by a lower Court. After she had served eight years in jail for Blasphemy. Predominantly Islamic Pakistan is in turmoil. For many supporters of the Blasphemy Law are unhappy and protesting in some cities against the acquittal. Lawyer for Asia Bibi has fled into Europe fearing for his life. He has appealed to authorities to make sure Asia is moved out to prevent being harmed by opponets of the ruling. Several Countries are ready to receive Asia to escape danger. However Authorities in Pakistan have agreed to keep Asia under safety. Whilst protesters have been given chance to appeal the Supreme Court Ruling. In exchange for stoppage of current unrest inside the Country since her acquittal. The agreement with the extremists have angered many inside Pakistan and around the World. That government has capitulated to demands and wishes of hardline supporters of Blasphemy Laws in Pakistan.
