Pakistan: 'Amidst growing international pressure calling for the repeal of Pakistan’s ‘blasphemy law’ and Hudood Ordinances, State Minister for Law and Parliamentary Affairs Raza Hayat Hiraj on 8 July announced the draft ‘Criminal Law (Amendment) Act’ which would revise these controversial laws. Campaigners believe that while it is welcome the draft doesn’t go far enough to protect human rights and religious freedom and continue to call for the total repeal of these laws.' (Barnabas Fund)
