Islamabad: A woman has been sentenced to death in Pakistan for radical and masculine thinking. The woman is the principal of a private school that refused to consider Prophet Mohammed as the last Prophet of Islam in 2013. At the same time, the woman described herself as the Prophet of Islam. According to Pakistani reports, Lahore's district and sessions court on Monday (September 27, 2021) sentenced Salma Tanveer, headmaster of a private school in Nishtar Colony, to death. The court has also imposed a fine of Rs 50,000 Pakistani Rupee on her.

On the complaint of Qari Iftikhar Ahmed Raza, the Namazi leader of a local mosque, the Nishtar Colony police had registered an FIR against the woman on September 2, 2013. Additional District and Sessions Court Judge Mansoor Ahmed while delivering the verdict said that Tanveer condemned prophet Mohammed as the last Prophet of Islam. Meanwhile, Tanveer's lawyer Mohammad Ramzan argued that his client's mental condition was not good and the court should look into the fact. However, the medical report of the woman appearing in court proved that her mental condition was correct.

In fact, the lawyer appearing for the complainant Maulvi had submitted a medical board report of the Punjab Institute of Mental Health to the court. It said the accused woman is fit to prosecute the suspect as her mental condition is perfect. The court then sentenced her to death and asked her to pay a fine of Rs 50,000 under Section 295 of the PPC. The verdict, pronounced in the Lahore court, is now being widely discussed on social media. Users are attributing Pakistan's radicalism and masculine thinking to it. Some are raising questions about human rights.
