Pakistan's ancient blasphemy law prescribes a mandatory death sentence for disrespecting the Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) and life imprisonment for desecrating the Holy Quran. Over 1300 people, many of them non-Muslim have been charged with blasphemy and at least 50 people have been lynched or burnt to death by frenzied mobs reminiscent of modern-day Salem Witch Trials. With unprecedented access, “The Accused: Damned or Devoted” features stories of people accused of blasphemy, as well as supporters of the law.
