Summary

This book discusses the legislative, sociological and political aspects of the human rights to expression in Pakistan, with specific regard to Pakistan's blasphemy legislation. This book explores the violation of international human rights norms inherent in Pakistan's blasphemy laws, in particular, norms found in the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. Weaving in the personal narratives of ordinary people, priests, pastors, layers and human rights organisations, this book examines the impact and pernicious use of blasphemy laws on the Christians of Pakistan.
