Briton on death row shot in Pak prison

Published on: 

A 70-year-old British national, sentenced to death in Pakistan under controversial blasphemy law, was on Thursday shot and critically wounded by a policeman inside a prison. Muhammad Asghar was arrested in 2012 for allegedly claiming that  he was a prophet. He was sentenced to death after a court rejected defence claims that he was suffering from mental health problems.
