被控通过社交媒体侮辱先知穆罕默德的巴基斯坦前大学讲师、富布赖特学者朱奈德·哈菲兹已被监禁13年，其上诉案近日迎来重要进展。12拉合尔高等法院于9月22日启动了对其亵渎罪死刑判决的上诉审理。12哈菲兹的律师对其获释抱有乐观态度，12下次庭审定于10月10日进行。12
哈菲兹因涉嫌在Facebook上使用虚假账号在一个私密群组中侮辱先知穆罕默德而于2013年3月13日被捕。12穆尔坦一审法院于2019年判处其死刑，12随后他向拉合尔高等法院提起上诉。2这一案件历时超过10年，期间至少有7名法官被调离。12自2014年6月以来，哈菲兹一直遭受单独监禁。12他的首任律师拉希德·雷赫曼于2014年5月在穆尔坦办公室遭枪杀。12人权观察组织曾呼吁推翻其定罪并释放哈菲兹。2
Junaid Hafeez, a former university lecturer and Fulbright scholar, has spent 13 years imprisoned in Pakistan after his arrest on March 13, 2013, on blasphemy charges stemming from allegations that he insulted the Prophet Muhammad on Facebook using a fake account in a private group purportedly for Pakistani liberals 12. A trial court in Multan sentenced him to death in 2019, but the Lahore High Court began hearing his appeal on September 22, 2026, with the next hearing scheduled for October 10 12. His legal team has expressed optimism about the prospect of his release, as the court has directed prosecutors to submit evidence supporting the conviction 1.
The case has faced significant obstacles throughout its more than decade-long proceedings. Hafeez's first lawyer, Rashid Rehman, was shot and killed in his office in Multan in May 2014, an attack that underscored the dangers facing those defending blasphemy cases 12. The defendant has been held in solitary confinement since June 2014 12, and at least seven judges have been transferred away from the case during the appeal process 12. Human Rights Watch called for the conviction to be overturned and Hafeez to be released 2, though the appeal proceedings continue to face pressure from Islamic extremists and broader concerns about judicial independence 1.
