Pakistan: Where Faith is a Death Sentence
In Pakistan, being Christian means living one accusation away from execution. The blasphemy laws turn every Christian into a target. A Muslim neighbor wants your land? Accuse you of blasphemy. A business competitor wants to destroy you? Blasphemy accusation.
Once accused, you're dead. Either the state hangs you, or the mob burns you alive.
Since 1987, over 1,855 people have been accused under Pakistan's blasphemy laws.At least 88 have been murdered by vigilante mobs before ever seeing a courtroom.Christians make up less than 2% of Pakistan's population but account for a disproportionate number of accusations.There is no burden of proof. An accusation alone destroys your life.
