Tahir Ahmad Naseem, accused of blasphemy by claiming to be a prophet, shot six times during a hearing.

A man accused of blasphemy for claiming that he was a prophet has been shot dead in a courtroom in the northwestern Pakistani city of Peshawar, police officials say, the latest violence associated with Pakistan's strict blasphemy laws.

Tahir Ahmad Naseem was shot six times during a hearing in his case at a district court on Wednesday, police official Ijaz Ahmed told Al Jazeera.

"The culprit accepts responsibility for killing him, and says that he killed him for having committed blasphemy," said police official Ahmed. "[The suspect] has been arrested from the scene."

Naseem had been in police custody since 2018 when he was accused of having committed blasphemy by claiming to be a prophet - a violation of Pakistan's strict blasphemy laws that can carry the death penalty for certain offences.

Naseem was accused of having violated sections 295-A, 295-B and 295-C of the Pakistani penal code, which deal with blasphemy against Islam, criminalising, among other things, "defiling the sacred name of the Holy Prophet Muhammad".

Blasphemy killings

While no one has yet been executed under Pakistan's strict blasphemy laws, extrajudicial murders and mob violence have become increasingly common in recent years. Since 1990, at least 77 people have been killed in connection with the accusation, according to an Al Jazeera tally.

Those killed include people accused of blasphemy, their family members, and lawyers and judges who have acquitted people accused of the crime.

Others killed in recent years include singers, teachers deemed to be advocating "un-Islamic" practices, and members of the persecuted Ahmadi sect.

In 2018, Pakistan's Supreme Court passed a landmark verdict in the country's most high-profile blasphemy case, acquitting Christian woman Aasia Bibi after she had spent nine years on death row.

The move angered the country's far-right religious parties, leading to widespread protests led by firebrand cleric Khadim Hussain Rizvi's Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) party, which has frequently advocated for violence against those accused of blasphemy.

Last week, the provincial assembly in Punjab, Pakistan's most populous province, passed a controversial law on religious issues, giving wide-ranging powers to the government to censor any published material based on vague guidelines of violating religious beliefs.

The law, widely criticised by rights groups, was placed under review on Monday.

how this guy is not banned is what i dont understand

Obrigardo:
with double digits point behind Biden and none of his pivot is working
Only fools have joy in what has not yet happen
while being devoid of current reality
Only fools beat their chest like they know something when they as empty nd illiterate
you are that fool, the stubborn uninformed ignorant dolt

mysticwarrior:
Trump has lost credibilites and he is likely not coming back.

Obrigardo:
How can you show videos of the atrocities happening under your nose and say this is what would happen under Biden? What a foolish thing to do, giving away responsibility while at the same time taking away people's right to protest.

Michael Cohen who committed a crime just got his First Amendment rights protected by the courts. Think about it, Cohen is a felon. But you can take away First Amendment rights of your citizens like criminals because they protested with graffiti. Think, these protesters are not criminals in any law of the land.

We also pray this your slave mentality and hatred for countries that refuses to be dominated and cowed by US won't give you tachycardia and heart failure one day.

Don't mind those cowards.
Even if the plane was transporting weapons they still don't have right to intercept it. Iran is welcomed in Syria and it is a partner in the fight against the terrorists America and its western thugs are arming against Assad government. But we know uncle sam's tactics as usual, create tension and bully every country that refuses to bow to them.

Whyem15:
Tell me another country that enough balls to bomb US bases, shoot down US drones that enters its airspace, intercept US navy ships that enters it territorial waters and harrasses those that are close to it.
The selective amnesia some of you have ehn.
Imperialist aggression on Iran and Syria used to be once in a month, it moved on to become once in a week, right now it is almost everyday. The moment it becomes more than once daily, it has become a war and the other side will respond appropriately. That is where Israel and US are heading to.
I just hope the world will remember that Israel and US have attacked Iran and Syria almost half a thousand times unprovoked and most times without retaliation from the attacked parties.
