Asia Bibi

Pakistan’s chief justice says he will decide, “soon,” the fate of Aasiya Noreen, a Christian woman whose 2009 conviction on blasphemy charges has fixated world attention on the country’s treatment of religious minorities.

Pakistani Christian mother Asia Bibi’s appeal of the death sentence has again been delayed, according to The Christian Post.

After more than seven years in prison, the first Pakistani Christian woman to be sentenced to death for blasphemy has had her Supreme Court appeal delayed, amidst renewed Islamist calls for her to die.

A 24/7 prayer effort will be held for imprisoned and condemned Christian Asia Bibi, who faces her final appeal of the death penalty next week in Pakistan.

Asia Bibi, a Christian woman in Pakistan who has been accused of blasphemy against Islam and sentenced to death, will make her final appeal in October.

Imprisoned Christian Asia Bibi says she forgives her persecutors even though they accused her unjustly.

Pakistani Christian Asia Bibi has reportedly forgiven her persecutors, though she remains imprisoned for blasphemy.

The Supreme Court of Pakistan has ruled that the government be required to review the country’s blasphemy laws which have resulted in many unjust sentences.

The lawyers of the only Pakistani Christian woman to be given the death penalty for alleged blasphemy met her in prison last week, reporting that she is safe and in good health.

Wednesday’s announcement that Pakistani Christian Aasiya Noreen (a.k.a. Asia Bibi) has been allowed to appeal her death sentence and stand before Pakistan’s Supreme Court is being lauded as a “historic day for Pakistan.”
