Christian Churches and groups in Pakistan have responded to the call of death row Christian woman, Asia Bibi, to join her in a special day of prayer and fasting for her release.
Her appeal was conveyed by her family that visited her recently and by the Renaissance Education Foundation in Lahore that supports her family and bears her legal costs.
In perhaps Pakistan’s most famous blasphemy case, Asia Bibi was sentenced to death in 2010 for insulting Muhammad, an allegation she denies. Pakistan’s Supreme Court adjourned her death sentence appeal on October 13, 2016, after one of the 3 judges recused himself from the case.
Asia Bibi’s hope revived after hearing her lawyer Saiful Malook declare that the Chief Justice of Pakistan Supreme Court Saqib Nisar would soon establish the date for the next hearing before the Supreme Court.
