LAHORE: A court in eastern Pakistan has sentenced a Christian couple to death for sending a blasphemous text message insulting to Prophet Mohammed (pbuh), their lawyer said Saturday.

Judge Mian Amir Habib handed the death sentence to Shafqat Emmanuel and Shagufta Kausar in a jail in the town of Toba Tek Singh on Friday, defence lawyer Nadeem Hassan told AFP.

Prosecution department officials confirmed the sentence.

The impoverished couple, who are in their forties, have three children and live in the town of Gojra, which has a history of violence against Christians, Hassan said.

Both denied the charges, Hassan said, adding that they would appeal the sentence.

Maulvi Mohammad Hussain, the prayer leader at a local mosque in Gojra, lodged a complaint against couple on July 21 last year for sending him a text message which he said was insulting to Prophet Mohammed (pbuh).

Hussain accused the husband of sending the message from his wife’s cellphone.

However, defence lawyer Hassan said that the text originated from a cellphone which the couple had lost some time before the incident, so they could not have sent the message.

The defence lawyer said that the couple had suspected rivals of implicating them into blasphemy case to settle personal scores and that they had ties with the complainant.

In 2009, a mob had attacked a Christian neighbourhood in Gojra and burned 77 houses and killed at least seven people after rumours that a Quran had been desecrated.

On March 27, another Christian man Sawan Masih was sentenced to death in Lahore for insulting Prophet Mohammed (pbuh) during the course of a conversation with a Muslim friend in the Joseph Colony neighbourhood in March last year.

This isn't right especially if the majority of the population isn't religious, we Muslims are hypocrites these days and God has abandoned us. We need to work on ourselves before looking at minorities, we should be setting examples for them. Sadly, these days our attitude is not on the right path and we aren't getting anywhere. Nobody is religious out of their heart anymore, just a minority is.

*** backward law. You should get your priorities right. You should put all your effort into development instead of putting up shows once in a while like this. I have so much respect for Pakistan but it seems day by day it's turning into Taliban Afghanistan.

Whole subcontinent should follow the East Asian way of development.

thats the reason the usual killers/culprits get even more encouraged to repeat their crimes...they know how protected they are in our corrupt system....

these silly Judges should know how much alredy there is a religious intolerance in our society before even trying giving such verdict...

btw nice to see you on threads other then Naswa....
