Pascale Harter introduces reportage from Pakistan, Greece, Colombia and New Zealand

Blasphemy laws and violence in Pakistan; an Afghan refugee camp near Athens; the farce of Colombia's absentee Congressmen; and the thefts plaguing New Zealand's avocado farmers

Pascale Harter introduces dispatches from reporters and writers around the world. In this edition:
Shaimaa Khalil explores why some Pakistanis can see those who kill 'blasphemers' as heroes;
Lizzie Porter finds hope running low at an encampment of Afghan refugees at a former Olympic Games site in Greece;
Natalio Cosoy explains why it's been an uphill battle to force members of Colombia's Congress to turn up for work;
and Tony Vale is on the trail of New Zealand's avocado rustlers.
