hi greetings,
I would like to know whether can I get refugee visa for Canada. in order to protect myself from persecution due to religion. I belong to a different religion and my neighbours have threatened me before and Im scared for my life pls kindly help me. I'm from Pakistan and here people don't like non Muslims minority. I am a submitter who follows submission religion.
In Pakistan, blasphemy laws are strictly enforced, with penalties ranging from fines to the death penalty for offenses such as insulting Islam or its prophets. While the state has not officially executed anyone for blasphemy, the mere accusation can lead to severe consequences, including mob violence and extrajudicial killings.
For instance, in a notable case, a 22-year-old student was sentenced to death for allegedly sharing blasphemous content via WhatsApp. Additionally, a court in Multan recently sentenced four individuals to death for posting sacrilegious content about Islamic figures on social media.
Beyond legal penalties, individuals accused of blasphemy often face vigilante justice. There have been numerous instances where those accused were killed by mobs or even by law enforcement officials. For example, a doctor accused of blasphemy was reportedly killed in a staged police encounter after surrendering to authorities.
Human rights organizations have raised concerns about the misuse of blasphemy laws in Pakistan, noting that they are often employed to persecute religious minorities or settle personal disputes. The European Union has also linked Pakistan’s favorable trade status to progress in human rights, including issues related to blasphemy laws.
In summary, while Pakistan’s legal framework includes the death penalty for blasphemy, and courts have handed down such sentences, the state has not carried out executions for this offense. However, accusations of blasphemy can and often do lead to severe extrajudicial actions, highlighting the contentious and dangerous nature of these laws within the country.
thank you very much
