A Catholic leader has called for an end to Pakistan’s blasphemy laws, telling EWTN this week that the accused in such cases are “guilty before even [having] an opportunity to prove themselves.”
A court in Punjab recently sentenced Ehsan Shan to death for sharing “hateful content” against Muslims on social media.
Last year, when locals said that two Christian men desecrated the Quran, groups of Muslim men burned dozens of homes and churches in Jaranwala in the region of Punjab in one of the worst mob attacks against Christians in the country.
Ed Clancy, the director of outreach at the charity group Aid to the Church in Need, told “EWTN News Nightly” anchor Tracy Sabol on Wednesday that after the attacks, Shan “posted some of the content of what was available on social media” regarding the allegations, including allegedly an image of a defaced Quran.
