Pakistani police officer sentenced to death for governor Taseer murder
A Rawalpindi anti terrorism court convicted Mumtaz Qadri, a police guard, of the January murder of Punjab governor Salman Taseer in broad daylight. Qadri seeks an appeal while protests erupted outside the jail and officials warned of limited use of the death penalty in Pakistan. The ruling comes amid rising Islamist extremism and criticism of blasphemy laws that shape political clashes and violence across the country.
