Free Asia Bibi.

Call to free Pakistani blasphemy law victim, Asia Bibi.

Call to free Pakistani blasphemy law victim
Dozens of protesters converged on the Pakistani Consulate in Glasgow last weekend calling for the freedom of Asia Bibi, the Pakistani blasphemy law victim.
Protesters, who believe the Christian mother of five who has been jailed in Multan for over seven years should be set free, gathered from all over Glasgow on Saturday 11th February.
An imam in Pakistan accused Asia Bibi of blasphemy in 2009 for drinking water from a well that was exclusive for Muslims. He determined that her Christianity made her ritually impure therefore contaminating the water. He also accused her for blasphemy for saying “Christ died for me, what did Muhammed do for you?”.
A response she allegedly uttered whilst being beaten and ridiculed for her faith after she had offered water from the well to Muslim co-workers.
Though there may only be 500 Pakistani Christians in Glasgow, over 50 turned out despite the cold. The event illustrated how Pakistani Christians in Britain really do care for the plight of Asia Bibi and others persecuted in Pakistan. The Universe.
