Shagufta Kausar and Shafqat Emmanuel have been on death row since 2014 over ‘blasphemous texts’ they deny sending
A court in Pakistan has indefinitely delayed an appeal hearing for a Christian couple who have been on death row since 2014 after being convicted of blasphemy.
Shagufta Kausar and Shafqat Emmanuel, imprisoned since 2013, were sentenced to death under Pakistan’s notoriously draconian blasphemy laws for allegedly sending “blasphemous texts” that insulted the prophet Muhammad to a cleric.
