In Pakistan, a blasphemy-related case turned tragic in September. A doctor accused of blaspheming the Prophet Mohammed was allegedly shot dead by police officers and his body set on fire by a mob of fundamentalists. In a historic first, members of civil society then mobilised to demand justice for him. Blasphemy is a very sensitive topic in Pakistan. Sometimes even mere rumours trigger riots and rampages. While mob killings of blasphemy suspects are common in Pakistan, such extrajudicial executions by police in blasphemy-related cases are rare. Our team went to meet the grieving family of the victim.
