Four sentenced to death over 'online blasphemy'
ISLAMABAD:
A court in Rawalpindi sentenced four men to death for posting blasphemous content online, a prosecution lawyer told AFP on Monday.
"They were sentenced to death on Friday for spreading blasphemous content online," Rao Abdur Raheem, a lawyer from the Legal Commission on Blasphemy Pakistan, a private group which brought the case to court, told AFP.
"Our case was supported by forensic evidence from the devices used in this heinous act," he added.
A member of a support group formed by the families confirmed the sentence to AFP and said the group would challenge the conviction. AFP
