inquiring about asylum in Sweden.

Post new topic

hi, greetings.


my name is Danish and I'm from Pakistan and in need of help.


can I get asylum in Sweden if I'm persecuted by the people here due to belonging to a minority religion. I'm from submission religion and it makes life very difficult here. pls kindly guide me.


following is just tip of the iceberg of what happens in Pakistan:

In Pakistan, blasphemy laws are strictly enforced, with penalties ranging from fines to the death penalty for offenses such as insulting Islam or its prophets. While the state has not officially executed anyone for blasphemy, the mere accusation can lead to severe consequences, including mob violence and extrajudicial killings.


For instance, in a notable case, a 22-year-old student was sentenced to death for allegedly sharing blasphemous content via WhatsApp.   Additionally, a court in Multan recently sentenced four individuals to death for posting sacrilegious content about Islamic figures on social media. 


Beyond legal penalties, individuals accused of blasphemy often face vigilante justice. There have been numerous instances where those accused were killed by mobs or even by law enforcement officials. For example, a doctor accused of blasphemy was reportedly killed in a staged police encounter after surrendering to authorities. 


Human rights organizations have raised concerns about the misuse of blasphemy laws in Pakistan, noting that they are often employed to persecute religious minorities or settle personal disputes. The European Union has also linked Pakistan’s favorable trade status to progress in human rights, including issues related to blasphemy laws. 


In summary, while Pakistan’s legal framework includes the death penalty for blasphemy, and courts have handed down such sentences, the state has not carried out executions for this offense. However, accusations of blasphemy can and often do lead to severe extrajudicial actions, highlighting the contentious and dangerous nature of these laws within the country.


pls help me if I can get to Sweden.
