Christians represent 2,5 percent of the population of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. Under the tense and repressive climate created by the imposition of Sharia law, they suffer a social segregation that greatly restricts their opportunities for employment and are forced to live in segregated ghettoes. Out of a fear of sectarian violence, religious observances in the seven Catholic dioceses scattered throughout the country are carried out beneath the watchful eyes of armed volunteers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tense atmosphere is especially aggravated by Sharia law 295, which concerns blasphemy and stipulates penalties ranging from a three-year prison sentence to capital punishment for offences against religious beliefs. The right to accuse another person of blasphemy has become a weapon in the hands of Moslems seeking to settle personal disputes with Christians, many of who have become innocent victims of false testimony. Various individuals have attempted to modify this law at the perils of their lives, the most prominent example being Shabaz Bhatti, a Catholic who was appointed Minister of Minority Affairs in 2008 only to be assassinated by religious extremists on March 2, 2011.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
