20:00Now PlayingTwo Christian nurses, Maryam Lal and Newsh Urooj, face the death penalty in Pakistan after they removed a sticker, highlighting a verse from the Quran, from a colleague's locker while they were cleaning. On April 9th, a violent mob appeared at the emergency department of Civil Hospital to attack them. Some of the protestors were chanting, "Beheading the only punishment for the blasphemer." Both of them are in custody at Civil Lines Police Station. During the riots, Lal was stabbed by a colleague who worked at the hospital. The colleague stated that "A Muslim can't keep quiet against blasphemy to his prophet." A far-right Islamist group called Tehreek-e-Labaik Pakistan (TLP) prompted the violence, and people were calling on the pair to be hanged. This is one of many incidences in Pakistan where women of minority religions are caught in the crosshairs of the nation’s blasphemy laws.
