"Pakistan's Supreme Court has heard what media describe as the final appeal of a Christian woman who has been on death row since 2010 on a blasphemy conviction.

Bibi, a mother of four, denies the charges.

Radical Islamists have rallied against the women and threatened to kill her if she is released.

Meanwhile, a hard-line Pakistani Islamist party warned of "terrible consequences" if she is granted leniency in her appeal."
Pakistan Court Hears Christian Woman’s Death-Row Blasphemy Appeal

People shouldn't be executed for blasphemy under any conditions.

So what did this woman allegedly say that was blasphemy?

In June 2009, Noreen was involved in an argument with a group of Muslim women with whom she had been harvesting berries after the other women grew angry with her for drinking the same water as them. She was subsequently accused of insulting the Islamic prophet Muhammad, a charge she denies, and was arrested and imprisoned. In November 2010, a Sheikhupura judge sentenced her to death. If executed, Noreen would be the first woman in Pakistan to be lawfully killed for blasphemy

Disgusting savagery. Frothing at the mouth and thirsting for blood demonstrates that their beliefs aren't worthy of the respect they demand for it.

From the link....
The verdict, which was reached in a district court and would need to be upheld by a superior court, has received worldwide attention. Various petitions, including one that received 400,000 signatures, were organized to protest Noreen's imprisonment, and Pope Benedict XVI publicly called for the charges against her to be dismissed. She received less sympathy from her neighbors and Islamic religious leaders in the country, some of whom adamantly called for her to be executed. Christian minorities minister Shahbaz Bhatti and Muslim politician Salmaan Taseer were both assassinated for advocating on her behalf and opposing the blasphemy laws.[5] Noreen's family went into hiding after receiving death threats, some of which threatened to kill Asia if released from prison.[6]

Who sanctions the government?

Why non-muslim?

I wasn't referring to rape to be specific. Just that horrors generally happen in those places.

The group War Against Rape (WAR) has documented the severity of rape in Pakistan, and the police indifference to it.[3] According to Women's Studies professor Shahla Haeri, rape in Pakistan is "often institutionalized and has the tacit and at times the explicit approval of the state".[4][5] According to lawyer Asma Jahangir, who was a co-founder of the women's rights group Women's Action Forum, up to seventy-two percent of women in custody in Pakistan are physically or sexually abused
