Pakist\u00e1n (International Christian Concern) \u2014 <\/span><\/strong>Tras pasar 13 a\u00f1os tras las rejas por un crimen que siempre neg\u00f3, el pastor Zafar Bhatti finalmente qued\u00f3 en libertad, solo para morir tres d\u00edas despu\u00e9s. Su muerte ha arrojado una dura luz sobre las leyes contra la blasfemia de Pakist\u00e1n y las sombr\u00edas condiciones de sus prisiones.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Bhatti, de 62 a\u00f1os, fundador de la Iglesia Misi\u00f3n Mundial de Jes\u00fas en Rawalpindi, muri\u00f3 de un paro card\u00edaco el 5 de octubre en su hogar en la provincia de Punyab. Hab\u00eda sido liberado el 2 de octubre despu\u00e9s de que el tribunal de Rawalpindi del Tribunal Superior de Lahore anulara su condena por blasfemia.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

El pastor, que no ten\u00eda hijos, deja a su esposa, quien qued\u00f3 postrada en cama durante su largo encarcelamiento.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Bhatti fue arrestado en julio de 2012 despu\u00e9s de que un cl\u00e9rigo musulm\u00e1n lo acusara de enviar mensajes de texto que supuestamente difamaban a la madre del profeta Mahoma, cargos que \u00e9l neg\u00f3 repetidamente. Los informes de aquella \u00e9poca sugirieron que fue torturado bajo custodia para extraerle una confesi\u00f3n.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

En 2017, un tribunal conden\u00f3 a Bhatti a cadena perpetua. Su apelaci\u00f3n fue rechazada en 2021 y, al a\u00f1o siguiente, la pena fue aumentada a la pena de muerte antes de su eventual absoluci\u00f3n a principios de este mes.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Durante su encarcelamiento, la salud de Bhatti se deterior\u00f3 gravemente. Gozando de buena salud anteriormente, desarroll\u00f3 diabetes, enfermedades card\u00edacas, hipertensi\u00f3n y problemas de visi\u00f3n, sufriendo m\u00faltiples ataques card\u00edacos entre 2019 y 2020. Su abogado declar\u00f3 que la atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica inadecuada en prisi\u00f3n empeor\u00f3 su condici\u00f3n, se\u00f1alando que el tratamiento especializado no estaba disponible para los reclusos.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cA pesar de todo su sufrimiento, nunca renunci\u00f3 a buscar justicia\u201d, dijo su abogado, describiendo a Bhatti como una v\u00edctima de negligencia sist\u00e9mica. A\u00f1adi\u00f3 que el encarcelamiento injusto del pastor ha dejado pocas esperanzas de recibir compensaci\u00f3n o reparaci\u00f3n alguna.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Seg\u00fan la Comisi\u00f3n Nacional de Justicia y Paz (NCJP), al menos 17 cristianos, incluidas seis mujeres y 23 musulmanes, fueron acusados bajo las leyes contra la blasfemia de Pakist\u00e1n en 2024, la mayor\u00eda de ellos en la provincia de Punyab.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Bhatti no entr\u00f3 en prisi\u00f3n con diabetes, enfermedades card\u00edacas ni las heridas que m\u00e1s tarde cubrieron su cuerpo. A\u00f1os de tortura, negligencia y trauma psicol\u00f3gico dentro de la c\u00e1rcel llevaron a sus enfermedades. Privado de la atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica adecuada incluso cuando su salud se desmoronaba, se convirti\u00f3 en otra v\u00edctima de un sistema penitenciario donde la dignidad humana a menudo muere mucho antes que el recluso.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Mientras la comunidad cristiana llora su p\u00e9rdida, sigue existiendo un llamado a orar por aquellos que a\u00fan est\u00e1n encarcelados bajo cargos similares, a esperar un sistema que valore la humanidad y a continuar la lucha por la justicia para que el sufrimiento del pastor Bhatti no sea en vano.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
