The international outcry has been acknowledged and Professor Junaid Hafeez has finally been released from his confinement. This serves as a significant affirmation that collective persistence regarding human rights produces tangible results. We shall continue to monitor the integrity of judicial processes to ensure that such injustices do not recur.

Immediate and Unconditional release of Pakistani Professor Junaid Hafeez
Final supporters
Love for life on earth is the core message of all religion. We respect every citizen’s freedom of religion, as well as condemn hate, persecution and killing in the name of religion. The freedom of religion is as important as the freedom of opinion and inquiry. Civilized nations cannot approve inhuman ‘Blasphemy Law’. We demand immediate and unconditional release of young Pakistani Professor Junaid Hafeez, who has been sentenced to death by a Pakistani Court for committing so-called blasphemous act.
Our solemn appeal to the conscientious citizens of Pakistan as well as fellow travelers across the world— for the sake of humanity unite against all kind of discrimination, oppression and killing in the name of religion.

I am appalled there are only 417 signatures so far — there should have been at least 417,000 ! Currently there is probably NO CAUSE in Pakistan more deserving of support than this one. Junaid Hafeez IS A HERO. Let him not become a martyr — it would be the worst precedent possible for our benighted country.
I strongly condemn against the Blasphemy law in Pakistan. Every living human is more important than the religion or any institution. Every person should have the right to criticize any person or any belief. Save human.
Stop killing innocent people in the name of religion. Mulla and Military nexus is destroying Pakistan. Unite against fundamentalism, sectarianism & culture of impunity
Junaid Hafeez, you are in prison since 2013. We are sorry that we couldn't do anything for you. This time I stand for you. You are a real hero. Pakistan is such a stupid country.
About time Pakistan sheds off it's religious hypocrisy. Stuck in the medieval/feudal ethos, ruled by the cut-throat ignorant mullahs and the military, Pakistan needs more secular minded enlightened academics like Prof Hafeez to bring this country to modern age.
Free Junaid Hafeez

Blasphemy law needs to be revoked and sent to the dustbin where it belongs. Obscurantism of Yahya Khan brought it, but openness of Imran Khan and the people of Pakistan should let it go. Release Prof. Junaid.
