(1991-1996) BARKAT-- A Victim of the Blasphemy Laws of Pakistan
Pakistan
February 2005 (1991-1996)
Despite his complete legal exoneration, militants kept coming to his house to find him... Barkat kept receiving death threats from Muslim zealots through his mail also. Some Christian ministers arranged a student's visa for him to study abroad. A student visa was an easy and a fast way to send him out of the country.
