A daughter mourns and warns
“My father’s assassination was a hate crime fuelled by jihadist fervour, abetted by some irresponsible sections of the media and sanctified by some political actors. All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good people do nothing. The loss of one good man must not deter others. Pakistan’s very future depends on it.”
This is how Shehrbano Taseer concludes an article about the recent killing of her father by his own bodyguard because he supported reform of the blasphemy law in Pakistan.
