    The views and opinions expressed here are the commentators' own and do not reflect the official position of Atheist Republic.

    On January 17th, The National Assembly of Pakistan unanimously passed the Criminal Laws (Amendment) Bill to increase punishment for the disrespect of "sacred personalities," such as the family of the Prophet Muhammad, the companions and wives of Muhammad, and the four Caliphs that succeeded him. The bill was pioneered by Maulana Abdul Akbar Chitrali of the Jamaat-e-Islami party. He stated, "The punishment for insulting a member of parliament is five years, while the punishment for insulting the sacred personalities is three years. This is an insult in itself." The House passed the Criminal Laws (Amendment) Bill stating that disparaging the companion of the Holy Prophet and other pious personalities disrupts the country, promotes terrorism, and hurts the sentiment of people all around the globe, as stated in the bill's objectives. The amendment bill increased the minimum punishment for disrespecting pious personalities from three to ten years of imprisonment and can also result in a fine of one million Pakistani rupees. Rights groups warn that this broadened and increased punishment will be misused to settle scores and persecute already vulnerable religious minorities.
