On the other hand, Pakistan has (and has used) a blasphemy law, and those who convert from Islam can and have been arrested and tried. One famous example is Tahir Iqbal, a parapalegic who was imprisoned and denied bail pre-trial for converting to Islam. (later murdered in jail). So while other religions or apostasy are not technically illegal, in practice things are different.
