Pakistan, a Catholic activist: petition for the abolition of blasphemy law
Asia News reports: “The government is more ‘sensitive’ than in the past to the problems caused by the blasphemy law, but change will only be possible if ‘there is a mass movement’ behind us. That is why we decided to launch ‘a petition campaign throughout the country,’ says Peter Jacob, executive secretary of the National Commission for Justice and Peace (NCJP) of the Catholic Church in Pakistan in an interview with AsiaNews.”
