NEW DELHI: Following the mob-lynching of an allegedly 'blaspheming' student in Pakistan , social media users there are panicked that someone will create fake Facebook (FB) profiles of them, The Express Tribune reported today."I don't have another Facebook account and if someone sends you a request with my ID and display picture, please report to me," is the status message that has started trending on local Facebook in Pakistan.That's because Mashaal Khan , the 23-year-old student murdered last week over online 'blasphemy', had said on FB in December that someone had made a fake profile in his name to malign him.Crimes related to blasphemy are a serious offence in Pakistan, and penalties range from small fines to the death sentence. While some politicians have condemned the student's murder, not many religious or political heads have called for repealing the 'blasphemy law' in the country.Here's Mashaal's FB status message from December 23:"Somebody has made a fake account with my name. And the person seems to be amongst our friends who is trying to send fake texts from the id with my name to His another fake id which is on a girl's name and is trying to blackmail me with that. Watch out friends. Someone is trying to show my image negative."That December FB status of Mashaal's is also trending on FB in Pakistan.Last Thursday, the 23-year-old journalism student was murdered by a screaming lynch mob on his university premises at the Abdul Wali Khan University in the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province. The mob believed Mashaal has posted 'blasphemous'Not only did the lynch mob beat to a pulp and then shoot dead Mashaal, it then continued to pound the boy's lifeless body with sticks - all of this in the clear light of day. The alleged participants in Mashaal's murder were allegedly fellow students and "thousands of students reportedly participated in the lynching ", according to the Tribune.The video of the murder has reportedly been widely shared and watched, and has panicked FB users in Pakistan.A senior security official told the Tribune they investigated Mashaal's cell phone communication and his social media pages and did not find any "offensive content".Still, at Mashaal's funeral, the imam at the local mosque refused to lead the last rites, Reuters reported. "A technician who was asked to do so in the cleric's place was confronted by several people afterwards," reported Reuters.At least 65 people have been murdered over blasphemy allegations since 1990, according to figures from a Centre for Research and Security Studies report and local media, and dozens more convicted of the crime are currently on death row in Pakistani jails, Reuters reported.
