Please pray that she be granted asylum and find a way out of this country.
National Catholic Register, Hannah Brockhaus: A petition to overturn last year’s acquittal of blasphemy charges against Catholic wife and mother Asia Bibi was dismissed by Pakistan’s Supreme Court Tuesday.
The challenge was dismissed Jan. 29 by a three-member Supreme Court panel led by Chief Justice Asif Saeed Khosa.
Bibi, who has been in hiding since shortly following the initial verdict overturning her death sentence late last October, is expected to leave Pakistan if granted asylum abroad, the BBC reports. Report is here.
Update: I have just read on NBC News site that Asia Bibi has been given asylum in Canada where her daughters are now in exile. Prayers needed for her safe exit from Pakistan to Canada.
