A BBC News report that a Pakistani Christian hospital worker, Qamar David, was arrested in Karachi on blasphemy charges after sending text messages critical of Islam to Muslims, which he said were sent in anger over attacks on churches in Pakistan. The report notes blasphemy can carry the death penalty in Pakistan, though no one has been executed for it, and cites human rights activists who describe the law as arbitrary and frequently misused to settle personal disputes, particularly against minority communities.
