Cases of custodial torture in blasphemy cases has raised concern among Pakistani rights activists. Rights groups have found several flaws in the law enacted by the Pakistan Senate two months ago, which makes the torture of the accused in custody unlawful. Reports claim that the activists requested a better implementation of the Torture and Custodial Death (Prevention and Punishment) 2022 bill. Joseph Janson, chairperson of Voice of Justice, stated that the current blasphemy law neither guarantees the accused a fair trial nor provides them religious freedom. The accuser, on the other hand, receives no consequences even after using fake evidence and false testimony. There is yet any countermeasure to be taken to prevent the misuse of the blasphemy law. Janson further noted that Pakistan's blasphemy laws were inconsistent and incompatible with international human rights standards. Activist Ashiknaz Khokhar has said that digital media and popular social media platforms in the country play a significant role in spreading misinformation. In August, Human Rights Watch (HRW) said that in order to end Pakistan's custody torture issue, first, we have to criminalize the system itself.
