Asia Bibi free to leave Pakistan after court dismisses challenge to her acquittal – ACNS January 31, 2019 by Fulcrum An attempt by Islamic extremists to overturn the acquittal of Asia Bibi, who had been detained for eight years on death row accused of blasphemy, has been rejected by Pakistan’s Supreme Court. Asia Bibi was finally cleared in October, after the court ruled that the case against her was based on “conflicts” and “contradictions”. Riots took place in many regions in Pakistan following her acquittal, which ended only after hardline group Tehreek-e Labaik were given permission to issues a fresh appeal to the Supreme Court.
