Shahbaz Bhatti died a martyr, says the Archbishop of CanterburyMr Bhatti was killed in an ambush by Taliban gunmen as he drove away from his mother’s home on 2 March.
He had been the Pakistan government’s only Christian cabinet minister until his assassination in Islamabad.
The minister was an outspoken critic of Pakistan’s controversial blasphemy laws . ….The law carries a death sentence for anyone who insults Islam. Critics say it has been used to persecute minority faiths.
Those who supported Mr Bhatti’s killing, said Dr Williams, “inhabit a world of fantasy, shot through with paranoid anxiety.”
