Sherry Rehman declared apostate deserving death
One of Pakistan's most liberal women and former information minister Sherry Rehman has been declared wajibul qatal, an apostate who deserves death.
The Sultan Masjid in the Defence Housing Authority, a posh housing scheme that was started for Pakistan military officers in Karachi -- commercial capital of Pakistan -- more than four decades ago, passed the death edict on Rehman for moving a resolution in Pakistan's parliament to amend the draconian blasphemy law and remove the death penalty from it to protect Pakistan's religious minorities, the Politico has reported.
