Pakistani Muslim sentenced to death for blasphemy.
"Judge Roomi sentenced him to death for defiling the Holy Koran and using derogatory language against the Prophet," said Shezada Hassan Ali, a senior official at the jail where Shafeeq has been kept.
"He can appeal the court decision."
The Human Rights Commission of Pakistan has long demanded the repeal of the blasphemy law which, it says, is misused against religious minorities such as Christians.
