In a couple of the tweets, the human rights watchdog said: " HRCP is alarmed over the incitement to wanton violence and charges of blasphemy against @marvisirmed -- an HRCP Council member and committed human rights defender."
"The vitriol unleashed against her for a satirical tweet shows how the blasphemy laws continue to be misused to intimidate and silence, violating people’s right to security and freedom of expression," it added, urging the government to 'take serious note of the incident and bring an end to such online threats and harassment'.
Sirmed is a target of a hateful social media campaign for making a sarcastic comment about the state’s practice of enforced disappearances in Balochistan. In a post shared on Twitter, she had said: "Mullah told Jesus Christ didn't die, he was picked up by God. A simpleton asked: Was Jesus a Baloch?"
Amnesty International also showed fear for her safety. “Sirmed has previously been subjected to severe vitriol online and a blasphemy accusation will only embolden trolls in cyberspace. A threat to her physical safety cannot be discounted,” said Amnesty's David Griffiths.
