Pakistan’s Ordinance XX of 1984 has to rank in human history alongside the worst laws enacted in human history – worse than Jim Crow Laws of the southern states of the United States of America and equal in its bias to the Nuremburg Laws enacted by Nazi Germany against the Jews. In its viciousness, the said law is one of a kind in the modern world. Not only does it crush the freedom of expression and speech but restricts religious freedom in a manner unprecedented in legal history.
