London: July 25, 2013. (PCP) The Centre for Legal Aid, Assistance and Settlement (CLAAS) is deeply concerned by reports that a Christian couple in Gojra have been charged with blasphemy for text messages sent to a local Muslim.
According to a report by Pakistan Today, 43-year-old Shafqat Masih and his wife Shagufta, 40, were accused of sending blasphemous text messages to Rana Muhammad Ejaz.
A case was registered by the Gojra City Police under Section 295-C of Pakistan’s blasphemy laws, which make derogatory remarks against the Prophet Muhammad punishable by death or life imprisonment. The police reportedly verified that the SIM used to send the text messages was registered to Shagufta but Shafqat has admitted using it in his phone to send the messages to Ejaz.
