RIP Mashal Khan – University Student, Latest Victim of Pakistan's 'Blasphemy' Vigilantism
From the Blog beenasarwar *Here's the story I wrote for The Wire about journalism student Mashal Khan and his barbaric murder on campus yesterday – a tragedy I felt quite gutted by and felt compelled to write about (text below).

In media, judiciary, army, mosques and colleges, they are found everywhere reminding us that the sins of past will not be easily forgiven, thapakistanblogs.blogspot.comRead Full Post
