A court in Pakistan has sentenced a woman to death over allegedly blasphemous messages sent over WhatsApp and Facebook.
Aneeqa Ateeq, 26, was found guilty and given a death sentence by a court in Rawalpindi on Wednesday after a complaint was registered against her under Pakistan’s draconian cybercrime and blasphemy laws
According to the charge sheet, Ateeq, 26, met her accuser, a fellow Pakistani, online in 2019 through a mobile gaming app and the pair began corresponding over WhatsApp.
He accused her of sending blasphemous caricatures of holy prophets, making remarks about “holy personages” on WhatsApp and using her Facebook account to transmit blasphemous material to other accounts. In doing so, she “deliberately and intentionally defiles sacred righteous personalities and insulted the religious beliefs of Muslims”, according to the charge sheet.
...The court found her guilty, gave her to a 20-year sentence and ordered her to be hanged.
While minorities such as Christians and Hindus have largely been targeted by the laws, Pakistani Muslims have also found themselves facing blasphemy charges. The cases often take place quickly, in a closed court, away from public scrutiny.

2nd amendment ping
islam is a totalitarian death cult founded by a child rapist.
She gets 20 years and then they hang her? Those people are something else.
“You’ll get used to the smell . lf you don’t, they got a sure cure for it. They hang ya !” - Hang ‘em high.
Is Allah too puny to take care of himself?
Great character.
“Umm … Put it in my pocket … for later.”
Yeah I remember that.
Then another dude says - “tell that guy to shut up and let’s get it over with”.
And the dude at the end - he didn’t want to be hanged ... and fought all the way to the end. ha ha
Yet the DemonRATs get upset if anyone calls Pakistan a shythole and doesn’t want immigrants from there.
I am waiting for the Obama-Harris-Pelosi-Biden administration to protest this murder of a woman by Muslim extremists.... it might take a while.
After all, the Muslim community in the US supports their abortions.
Who the hell do they think they are, twitter?
I wish a nuke would just reduce Pakistan, harborer of terrorists and traitorous to a fault, to a lake of molten glass. They are rotten to the core.
He was spurned so he now is instrumental in her death sentence
That’s FDR! Franklin Delano Romanowsky.
Thanks RACPE.
That’s right! I knew I saw him somewhere else. It was Seinfeld!
Activists and rights groups believe that Pakistan's blasphemy laws are draconian and are often misused. The laws are often employed in cases that have little to do with blasphemy and are used to settle petty disputes and personal vendettas. Christians, Hindus and Ahmadis — a minority Islamic sect — are often victimized as a result, they point out.
Pakistani politicians appeared to lack the courage to tackle the problem. “They are too afraid of the noisy street power of the mullahs and religious-political parties like the Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP),” the expert underlined. TLP is a largely Barelvi (a sect in Islam) party, founded in 2015 by Khadim Hussain Rizvi, a firebrand cleric who died in November 2020. The core ideology of this party revolves around the “finality of Prophet Muhammad” and the protection of Pakistan's blasphemy laws.
