Human Rights First condemns the violent abduction of Shahbaz Taseer, the son of slain Punjab Governor Salmaan Taseer who was assassinated in January for condemning the misuse of blasphemy laws in Pakistan. Since January 2011, we have been working closely with Sherbano Taseer, Shahbaz’s sister, in her ongoing efforts to amend blasphemy laws that fuel violence.

I don't get a fucking Point why Salman Taseer was brutally Murdered, How can a Muslim do Blasphemy against Prophet Muhammed? He was trying to change the harsh law made on the name of Islam that many misused to get personal gains. Prophet Muhammed himself is the Biggest example of justice he never order any one to be murdered depsite many Kuffar like Abu Sufyan kept on insulting him. Even if he did it, people should have given him a chance to repent. Shehrbano i hope one day youll make Pak proud

@MRafisahabgems Show me one single decent pakistani male who is truly altruistic.... there are none.

You should all let your women speak for you because the men have lost all credibility and political presence.

Your females can you lead you to greatness but you all lock them away.

The rest of the world is watching.
