Humanity is endangered in Pakistan. Laws like the blasphemy law, 15th amendment (the sharia law), and 295 C have become a source of victimization and persecution of human rights in Pakistan.
According to the blasphemy law, and 295 C in particular, anyone who by any imputation, innuendo, or insinuation, directly or indirectly defiles the name to Prophet Mohammad, shall be punished with death, or imprisoned for life.
Where in the case of a minority its death or life imprisonment, but if a Muslim is committing the same crime, he/she is subjected to three years of imprisonment. Such laws humiliate the equal human rights.
These laws hang on the heads of minorities in Pakistan like naked sword. Many innocent people have lost their lives including some accused ones who had not been brought to trial but were killed by fanatics and extremist groups.
Minorities suffer all sorts of accusation made in the shelter of these deadly laws. In the context of these discriminatory laws, human rights are being suppressed.
One barbarous example is the incidence of August 1st, 2009 Gojra attack.

The government refrains from taking action against the extremist elements for reasons of political expedience.
Please take a stand against this brutality and urge the government of Pakistan to respect human rights.

I have been reading every single story you leave in the comments and the pain they describe reflects the exact reality my community faces every day. My focus remains on pressuring officials to acknowledge these injustices because the people suffering under these laws deserve to be seen and protected.

Seeing this grow makes me feel less alone in the fight for my community back home. Your willingness to look at the pain in Pakistan and acknowledge this injustice means more to me than I can properly put into words.

This is honestly so heartbreaking. No one should ever have to live in fear because of who they are or what they believe.
