Freedom of religion in Pakistan

"The Blasphemy Laws are primarily used to terrorize minorities and pursue personal scores and vendettas, and their very existence undermines any effective freedom of religion in Pakistan."

"To this day, the blasphemy laws continue to restrict the freedom of religion in Pakistan."

"The judges noted that the ulema were against the propagation of any other religion in Pakistan. They argued that anyone preaching another religion was involved in promoting apostasy, since Muslims could not be converted to another religion."

"The superior judiciary does not bear all responsibility for the dismal state of the fundamental human right of freedom of religion in Pakistan. But it remains the constitutionally designated guardian of guaranteed rights."
