ISLAMABAD: Pakistan MP Sherry Rehman, who had proposed a bill to reform the blasphemy laws, may be next on the extremists' hitlist.
Of the three politicians who stood up for Aasia Bibi, a Christian woman sentenced to death last November for allegedly committing blasphemy against Prophet Muhammad, just one is still alive– Rehman. Following the slayings of Punjab governor Salmaan Taseer and minorities affairs Minister Shahbaz Bhatti, worries are growing that Rehman could be next. "Make no mistake: she is in grave danger," one of her friends said.
"We will continue to target all those who speak against the law which punishes those who insult the prophet. Their fate will be the same," Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan's deputy spokesman, Ahsanullah Ahsan, told BBC. ani
