Last year ended on a dark note for blasphemers. Junaid Hafeez, who spent years in solitary confinement after being arrested for blasphemy in 2013, was sentenced to death in December over his social media posts. Hafeez was a university lecturer in Pakistan when he was arrested; before that, he earned a Master’s degree in the U.S. at Jackson State University while studying on a Fulbright scholarship.
