Violence (Honour Killings) Against Women in Pakistan
An awful new page - "Violence Against Women in Pakistan". Well over 1,000 women each year are murdered in honour killings in Pakistan; usually by their relatives for not adhering to strict conservative modes of fashion, life, love or conduct; avoiding forced marriages is common cause for a father to murder his daughter (or get a younger brother to do it, who therefore only services a short sentance as a minor). These problems are especially bad in rural communities, where a combination of poor education, weak government reach and male-dominated strict Islam mean women have no protections.

Religion in Pakistan
New page: "Religion in Pakistan" by Vexen Crabtree. A place that is extremely intolerant of religious beliefs that aren't Sunni Islam, with women, LGBT folk and minorities facing long-term violent and inhumane persecution.

Blasphemy in Pakistan
A new page! Pakistan's blasphemy laws are infamously strict and unjust, tied to the country's overall culture of intolerance and prejudice, and result in a constant stream of murders, violent attacks and mob violence against anyone accused of saying the wrong religious things. Knowing that the consequences can be life-destroying even when the claims are false, accusations are often made against competitors during feuds or to resolve grudges. Such is the temper in a country that is being dragged backwards into a barbarous theocracy by religionists, amidst a wave of fear. The concept of blasphemy is their primary weapon.
