December 7 – The Diplomat report by Umair Jamal states that the government in Pakistan recently arrested the leadership of the Tehreek-e-Labbaik (TLP), a far-right religious group, which for the past two years, has been carrying protest campaigns to ensure the complete implementation of the country’s controversial blasphemy laws. A month ago, the group in its latest protest drive against the Supreme Court’s decision to free a Christian woman accused of blasphemy, not only provoked protesters against the leadership of various civilian institutions, but also criticized law enforcement agencies for not helping with the implementation of the blasphemy law.
