Pakistani actress Veena Malik, her husband Assad Bashir Khan Khattak and media mogul, Geo Tv’s owner Mir Shakil-ur-Rahman have been sentenced to a 26 year old jail term on the grounds of blasphemy. The reason behind this shocking legal action is because the channel aired a blasphemous programme in May, which played a religious song while portraying a mock marriage of Malik with Bashir.
