Lahore:
A Christian man accused of blasphemy in Jaranwala will appeal against a death sentence in the sentence of an anti-terrorism court, his lawyer said on Saturday.
The 36-year-old man was convicted of blasphemy over accusations that he had tempted the Holy Qur’an who burned attacks on a Christian neighborhood in 2023, when hundreds of houses and churches were torched and thousands of people who were forced to flee their homes.
“We want to file an appeal in High Court against it,” his lawyer Akmal Bhatti told Reuters and referred to the verdict handed down on Friday night.
