Sindh Human Rights Commission says blasphemy laws must not be used to settle scores

The Sindh Human Rights Commission (SHRC) has warned that repeated blasphemy accusations based on fake or unverified social media content could trigger violence and disrupt communal peace just as seen in the past. In a letter to the Umerkot SSP, the SHRC urged the police to prevent misuse of blasphemy laws, take community based preventive steps and ensure due process in sensitive cases. They also called for stricter action against those spreading hate and requested a report on police efforts by July 16.
