Pakistan gives 1st-ever death sentence for online blasphemy
For the first time ever, an anti-terrorism court in Pakistan has sentenced a man named Taimoor Raza to death for allegedly committing blasphemy on social media. Raza was arrested last year with 14 others in a blasphemy crackdown. Raza's legal representative has claimed that he had been charged with two unrelated sections of the law to ensure the maximum penalty.
