Pakistani Christian Mom, Asia Bibi Given One More Chance for Life in Upcoming Appeal—PRAY!

Isaiah Narciso : Jul 20, 2015  Gospel Herald

"Perhaps the international pressure felt by our Government has resulted in the expedition of her case. I hope that this time the courts make the right decision and free sister Asia."

(Pakistan)—Pakistani Christian Asia Bibi has been sentenced to death row in Pakistan thanks to the country's strict interpretation of blasphemy laws. However, she will be given a chance to appeal for her freedom.

According to a report issued by Wilson Chowdhry of the British Pakistani Christian Association, 50-year-old Bibi was given one last chance to vouch for her freedom after a Pakistan Supreme Court appeal date was set for July 22. Chowdhry urged Christians around the world to pray that freedom and justice would be served through the courts.

"I am pleased at this early date, the legal process in Pakistan can be so delayed," BPCA officer Mehwish Bhatti said, relaying information from a solicitor involved in Bibi's case. "Perhaps the international pressure felt by our Government has resulted in the expedition of her case. I hope that this time the courts make the right decision and free sister Asia."

Bhatti described the conditions Bibi faced during her imprisonment in Pakistan.

"Six years in a dingy, dark cell in complete isolation will no doubt have caused great trauma, especially when coupled with a nation's unfair hatred," Bhatti said.

According to Chowdhry, the mother of five was "gang-raped, beaten and has served five years imprisonment." Bibi was imprisoned for her faith after saying "My Christ died for me, what did Muhammed do for you?"

"Her words have deemed by most religious experts from all faiths to be a harmless question that exhibits little to qualify as a blasphemy, yet Asia has been forced to cook her own food from raw ingredients and to live in isolation due to significant threats, bullying and attempts at taking her life," Chowdhry wrote.
