8:59Now PlayingIn a press conference in Pakistan, Rao Abdul Rahim, a lawyer and the chairman of the Legal Commission on Blasphemy, claimed that more than 400,000 people were allegedly involved in “blasphemous” activities. The information is based on a report submitted to the Lahore High Court by the Cybercrime Wing of the country’s Federal Investigation Agency (FIA). Rahim cited an incident where FIA agents arrested four people in 2022 for blasphemy charges. The investigation revealed that the four suspects organized a “blasphemy” group in 2019, which quickly grew to 32,000 members upon their arrest. Rahim said that the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) should use modern technology to inform the FIA about the blasphemers so they could be arrested and convicted. Rahim also claimed that his organization helped the Pakistani government arrest 119 people accused of “blasphemous” activities. Of these 119 suspects, 11 have already been sentenced to death. He appealed to Pakistanis to observe April 7th as the “National Awareness Day for Prevention of Indecent Content on Social Media” to spread awareness about blasphemy.
