No court is likely to let a non-Muslim accused walk, even if he is innocent. He is more likely to hand a death sentence and expect the poor non-Muslim to appeal against the verdict. In the latest case, police alleged Sajid Masih tried to escape when his phone was about to be checked for blasphemy. This has happened over decades since the Blasphemy Law was enacted to entrap them. This time, the Barelvi organisation, Tehreek Labbaik Ya Rasool Allah (Here I am O Holy Prophet), got into the act and lodged an FIR against Patras Masih.
