ISLAMABAD - A Pakistani court upheld the death sentence on Monday for the killer of the governor of Pakistan's largest province after he had called for reform of a law against blasphemy, media said. The ruling was a surprise to many who had expected the killer's sentence might be reduced amid growing threats to lawyers and judges hearing blasphemy-related cases. Reporters and other members of the public were not allowed into Monday's hearing. Qadri's lawyer could not be reached for comment immediately.
