law

Islamabad, Pakistan (CNN) -- The governor of Pakistan's Punjab province was
assassinated by his own security guard Tuesday, according to Interior Minister
Rehman Malik, apparently because he spoke out against the country's
controversial blasphemy law.
The security guard was arrested, Malik said. The shooting occurred at
Islamabad's Kohsar Market, which is frequented by foreigners.
Malik told reporters the guard had confessed to killing Salman Taseer over the
governor's describing the blasphemy law as a "black law," the Associated Press
of Pakistan reported. After the shooting, the guard -- identified by the APP as
Malik Mumtaz Hussain Qadri -- immediately surrendered to authorities, according
to the report.
Taseer was leaving the market when he was shot. The APP said he had had lunch
with a friend at a cafe in the market. Earlier, Naeem Iqbal, spokesman for
Islamabad police, said Taseer had gone into the market to make some purchases.
He was taken to a hospital following the shooting, but died, apparently from
blood loss, officials said.
A spotlight was put on Pakistan's controversial law in November when a
Christian woman, Asia Bibi of Punjab province, was sentenced to death for
blasphemy. A court found the 45-year-old woman guilty of defiling the name of
the Prophet Mohammed during a 2009 argument with fellow Muslim field workers.
An investigation by a Pakistani government ministry found the charges against
Bibi stemmed from "religious and personal enmity" and recommended her release.
The government also said it would review the law.
In remarks to CNN in November, Taseer said Pakistan's President, Asif Ali
Zardari, would pardon Bibi if the courts did not.
"He's a liberal, modern-minded president, and he's not going to see a poor
woman like this targeted and executed ... it's just not going to happen," he
said.
"The blasphemy law is not a God-made law. It's a man-made law," he said. "...
It's a law that gives an excuse to extremists and reactionaries to target weak
people and minorities."
No "big, rich, powerful man" runs afoul of the law, he noted. "It's only the
poor people who they want to, you know, either grab their property or threaten
them or get into local disputes. So the law is actually an unfortunate leftover
from a military regime. It has to go in due course or be amended, and I think
the pressure is on us, is on the parliamentarians now.
"People have spoken up, I'm very happy to say," he added. "I took the
initiative and I think from all sides ... people are coming out and openly
condemning the blasphemy law. I think that's encouraging."
Taseer said he would like to see the law "changed in such a way that it just
basically says, if you insult any prophet, no matter who he is, that's a
criminal offense, but certainly not punishable by death."
Reaction to the assassination from Pakistani officials was swift. Prime
Minister Syed Yusuf Raza Gilani said in a statement he "strongly condemned" the
incident. The Pakistan People's Party, the nation's ruling party, said it would
observe two weeks of mourning over Taseer's death, according to GEO TV.
The English-educated Taseer created "a host of highly successful businesses,"
according to his official website, and is "the pioneer of cable television in
Pakistan." He introduced the first English news channel in Pakistan, Business
Plus.
His website describes Taseer as an activist who stood up to Pakistan's previous
military leadership, calling it a "brutal and medievalistic dictatorship." He
was arrested a total of 16 times, according to the website, placed on house
arrest several times and spent time in "jails around the country."
He married twice and had six children, according to his website, which also
contained a quote from him: "You live life once, you live it by your principles
and you live it courageously -- that's what it's about." He lived in Lahore,
Pakistan.
Taseer's official Facebook page lists his favorite books as Niccolo
Machiavelli's "The Prince" and biographies "of everyone -- from Napoleon to
Richard Branson to Hugh Hefner."
He had been governor of Punjab province since May 2008.
