A 30-year-old Pakistani man has been sentenced to death by a counterterrorism court, following the conviction on charges he insulted the Prophet Muhammed and his wives on Facebook, officials said Sunday. However, human rights activists have expressed deep concerns that Raza’s case is the beginning of a wider social media crackdown that will continue, particularly because nobody is ever held accountable for making fictitious accusations. Raza’s verdict comes at a time when officials are increasingly pounding down on blasphemy claims across the country. Four other people were sentenced to death for the crime in 2016 alone. He was then stripped, beaten, shot and tossed to his death from the second floor.
