37. To ask the Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade if his attention has been drawn to the prosecution of a person (details supplied) in Pakistan, who is sentenced to death by hanging on the basis of charges of blasphemy; if he has made representations to the Pakistani authorities in relation to this case and the general persecution of Muslims converting to Christianity, which is forbidden in some Islamic countries; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
