KARACHI - A Pakistani man sentenced to life imprisonment for blasphemy is being kept in solitary confinement because of fears other inmates will harm him for insulting Islam, police said on Tuesday.

Mohammad Younus Sheikh was found guilty last week of writing and distributing books containing blasphemous and sacrilegious material.

“In Pakistan, insulting Islam or Islamic teachings is a very sensitive matter and people try to take the law into their own hands,” said investigating police officer Mohammad Younis.

Other inmates had already picked fights with Sheikh, 40, and he was being kept in a separate cell.
