Pakistan’s Supreme Court orders “immediate release” of Asia Bibi after blasphemy acquittal – ACNS October 31, 2018 by Fulcrum A Christian mother of four who has been held in solitary confinement on death row since 2010 after being convicted of blasphemy has been acquitted by Pakistan’s Supreme Court. Asia Bibi was detained after a row with her co-workers in June 2009. She had drunk a glass of water but her co-workers said that, by drinking from a cup meant for Muslims, she had made it ritually unclean. They demanded she convert to Islam but she refused. It is alleged that she then made offensive remarks about the Islamic prophet Muhammad during an altercation. ACNS 31 October 2018 FulcrumShareTweetShare
