Barbarians vs. Bibi
Feb 02, 2019
Asia Bibi was convicted of blasphemy in 2010 and was on death row for eight years until her acquittal last year.
Yesterday the Supreme Court threw out a petition seeking a final appeal in the case against her acquittal.
Muslims in Pakistan are openly calling for her murder.
Hafiz Ehtisham Ahmed, an Islamist activist linked to the extremist Red Mosque in Islamabad, said Mrs Bibi may not be safe wherever she goes. 'She deserves to be murdered according to Sharia', he said. 'If she goes abroad, don't Muslims live there? If she goes out of Pakistan…anybody can kill her there.'
