Blasphemy law opposing Sherry Rehman next on terror hit list?

London: With two of three Pakistani politicians who opposed the blasphemy law assassinated, friends of the third, the glamorous Sherry Rehman, now fear for her life.

Gunmen have shot dead Punjab governor Salman Taseer and minorities minister Shahbaz Bhatti, the only Christian in the Pakistani government.

Rehman, known for her outspoken views, led the efforts to reform the blasphemy law after Aasia Bibi, a Christian mother of four, was sentenced to death for allegedly insulting Prophet Muhammad.

Rehman was joined by Taseer and Bhatti.


Both men are now dead, and friends feel that Rehman could be the next, The Guardian reported.

'Make no mistake: she is in grave danger, like nobody else,' the paper quoted a friend as saying.

It said Rehman lived in near hiding and had spent most of January at her Karachi home, surrounded by police.


She has been advised by government ministers to leave Pakistan.

'I get two types of advice about leaving. One from concerned friends, the other from those who want me out, so I'll stop making trouble. But I'm going nowhere,' Rehman was quoted as saying.

She recently went to Bangkok for a meeting on Pakistan-India relations and later to New Delhi. In Pakistan, she remains absent from public life.

She goes to Islamabad discreetly but rarely attends parliament, it said.

it seems Guardian knows who they are going to target next !! since it could have been rehman malik, fouzia wahab and many other...but they know who they are going to kill next !!

She should follow their advice... Else move around with high security. It is really unfortunate what she has to go through for being a voice of the liberal minority.

before the guardian predicting her to be the next victim, many many of us in here including myself were saying this. i think it is because she is more critical of the law than the others.

..and also she is woman..These nut jobs want a Taliban styled gov in Pakistan which doesnt allow woman to work,vote or have any say in the working of the country..now how can they allow a woman to oppose their favourite law??(sarcasm)

She cant go anywhere..if she moves to India or USA-she will lose all credibility with Pakistani public..she moves to UK-these nutjobs are also in UK too..
She cant move to Saudi..i.e., if she wants to still be in Politics.

however All seeing ISI has reported that some foreginers were observing his routeen from last 2 weeks, it is likely that the murder is in international context.

You seem have to have perception that there is foreign hand in killing of Minister. Since its perception, no one can change it easily.
 
Assalam O Alaikum, Its very unfortunate that all of the world media, and governments are trying to uproot Pakistan. Having said that all of our nation, politicians and bureaucrats, are with closed eyes. As nation we have been divided in some many segments that we cant stand-up on one issue together. We understand that this law was made for some reasons, for misuse of any law!!!!!!!! well people are framed for murder they have not committed, that doesnt mean we should abolish that law and penalty.... people are framed for many other cases which they don't committed but this is no excuse to say that lets change the law... same in this case, there are cased of misuse but we all know that there are some genuine cases as well. So we should defend the law.

I don't have any knowledge on killing. I am just following what is happening (trend) and other Think Tank thinks.

A man's home is his castle, and when life deals you lemons, make lemonade. She is an outspoken liberal politician, comfortable in a secure location. Why does she lay low rather than make the best of her opportunity?
 
i am oing to lock this thread up not because anyone is trolling/baiting or misbehaving. simply because that's feeding into the paranoia and indirectly asking for her death.
