Why is it important that she has a lot of followers on tiktok?

According to the article, the law is about spreading blasphemy. It doesn't say whether committing blasphemy is sufficient on its own, so the number of followers may have been instrumental in the charging, conviction, or sentencing.

It's also possible that it was merely showing that being famous is no protection.

I guess because she has a bigger reach than the imam who accused her. He was probably jealous.
