(LifeSiteNews) — A Pakistani Christian mother of four has been sentenced to death for blasphemy after she shared a WhatsApp message deemed to have “insult[ed] the Prophet Muhammad.”
Judge Muhammad Afzal Majoka sentenced 40-year-old Shagufta Kiran to death in September on multiple charges, including “intending to outrage religious feelings” and “insulting the Prophet Muhammad,” according to the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF).
Kiran has also been sentenced to a fine of 300,000 rupees ($1,077 USD) following her three-year trial. The Christian mother’s attorneys reportedly plan to appeal the sentencing.
