Ch4 Unreported World 2019 - Banged Up for Blasphemy
https://www.radiotimes.com/tv-programme/e/ht88mf/unreported-world--s37-e2-banged-up-for-blasphemy/
The recent release of Asia Bibi made Pakistan’s strict blasphemy laws a global talking point. Her supposed crime was to have insulted the Prophet Muhammad during a row with neighbours – a comment that led to a beating, an arrest and eight years on death row. And as reporter Marcel Theroux discovers on his trip to the country, Bibi’s case is certainly not unique.
Asia Bibi, a christian woman
The prosecuter, Ghulam Mustafa Chaudary, a muslim
who is also the founder of Khatam e Nabuwwat, the movement of the finality of the prophet
Nabeel got into trouble when a blasphemous image appeared on his Facebook page. Neighbours came to his house threatening to burn him alive and he’s now spent both his 16th and 17th birthday in prison. As if that wasn’t worrying enough, Theroux also reveals that many blasphemy cases are actually based on false accusations, sometimes stemming more from personal vendettas than insults against Islam.
Nabeel brother and his family (muslims) are under deaththreat after someone posted a pig on Kaaba
Marcel Theroux travels to Pakistan where he meets individuals - including children - who have fallen foul of the country's strict blasphemy laws. They include Waqil, whose 15-year-old brother Nabil was imprisoned after a blasphemous image appeared on his Facebook page. The reporter also catches up with the activists who hunt them down, including lawyer Ghulam Mustafa Chaudary who has been credited with producing a spike in blasphemy cases over the past 15 years. He was involved in the prosecution of Asia Bibi, a Christian woman who spent nine years on death row.
Sawan Mashi, a christian was acccused of blasphemy, resulting in destruction of his village by a angry mob
It is only 20 min of your life and is already uploaded.
It disturbs me how certain parts of our world live in the middle ages and don´t show any regrets when sending innocent people to death on loose rumors.
Please do not comment if you will only type Islam doing an Islam. How can one constructively erase these forms of behavior from this earth? The lack of compassion is frightening, and then I look at Islam that has made itself known for being a religion of mercy.
