Hindu Persecution In Pakistan
In yet another manifestation of how Pakistan’s ‘blasphemy’ laws — laws penalising criticism of Islam and its founder — are repeatedly used for persecuting religious minorities, a Hindu man has been found not guilty of blasphemy, after spending five years in jail amid death threats.
The man, named Notan Lal, is a resident of Sindh province in Pakistan and belongs to the Hindu community, which makes up less than 2 per cent of Pakistan’s nearly 23 crore population.
