Islamic Cleric Lynched In Pakistan Over Alleged Blasphemy
Channel: Atheist Republic
Date: 2023-05-17

A Muslim cleric in Pakistan was recently lynched by an angry mob after allegedly making blasphemous remarks at an opposition party rally. The cleric, Nigar Alam, was invited to speak at a rally organized by the opposition Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party in the village of Sawaldher, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. Following his speech, the crowd became enraged and killed him. Police initially secured him in a nearby shop, but the crowd broke through the door, dragged him out, and beat him to death. The incident was widely shared on Pakistani social media. Blasphemy is a highly sensitive issue in Pakistan, often leading to violence, lynchings, and death, even for unproven allegations. There have been other incidents of lynching due to blasphemy charges in the country. In December 2021, a Sri Lankan factory manager was lynched and burned for alleged blasphemy, an incident that then Prime Minister Imran Khan called a “day of shame for Pakistan.”
