Asia Bibi Case Delayed, Judge Recuses Himself

Our community here in Richmond, NH, were all praying for Asia Bibi Wednesday night. As my column stated, the life of this Catholic mother of five was in the hands of the Pakistani Supreme Court. I found nothing on the major Catholic websites covering what happened with her trial on October 13. An evangelical website, Christianity Today, posted the latest developement:

Christianity Today: After seven years in prison, Asia Bibi will have to wait even longer to know her fate.

Her appearance Thursday before Pakistan’s Supreme Court was put off when one of the three judges in the case recused himself. The Christian mother of five is facing a death sentence for blasphemy. More on this here.
