Synopsis

Blasphemy laws are still on the books and are vigorously enforced in Muslim, Christian, Buddhist and Hindu countries, even with death sentences.  Blasphemy is usually understood as a threat to religious dogma. It thwarts freedom of expression.

We profile anti-Blasphemy activists who escaped death sentences in their native countries and found refuge elsewhere.  They continue to help others who face death sentences for alleged Blasphemy charges escape to freedom.
