"Saving Asia Bibi"
Asia Bibi, mother of two children, is the first woman to be sentenced to death for blasphemy and is in prison since 2009.
According to the judges would have offended the prophet Mohammed during a discussion took place in front of some colleagues. In fact the woman had simply responded to that calling colleagues invited her unfaithful to abandon Christianity.
why Asia was first beaten and then reported to the police Ittanwali (Punjab) and arrested her on false charges of blasphemy.
The so-called "blasphemy law" (Articles 295b and 295c of the Penal Code of Pakistan) is constantly being used for revenge or personal interests that have nothing to do with the offense religion. The law was promulgated unilaterally by General Zia-ul-Haq in 1986. At the expense have been in 25 years, about 1,000 Pakistani nationals, arrested and unjustly charged: among them 479 Muslims, 340 Ahmadis, 119 Christians and other religious minorities such as Hindus and Sikhs. Also many as 33 people on trial for blasphemy or acquitted of the charges, have been victims of extrajudicial executions.
The story of ASIA BIBI sentenced to death for blasphemy in Pakistan seems to fall into oblivion
International attention around the case of Asia Bibi, the first woman sentenced to death for blasphemy in Pakistan, can not and should not fall: it is a tragic demonstration the brutal murderess of the governor of Punujab, Salman Taseer, a Muslim and member of the Pakistan People's Party, assassinated today in Islamabad by a man of his own stock.
After the verdict, Taeseer had spoken out publicly against this decision and because of what was killed.
According to the head of the association that assists the woman's family - the Masihi Foundation -, Bsrket Haroon Masih, "today there are 10 million potential killer in Asia . Taseer has been killed and the Minister Shahbaz Bhatti ol'ex Minister Sherry Rehman were sentenced to death by extremists ". The imam of the Mohabat Khan mosque (the great Peshawar), Maulana Yousuf Qureshi, offered a reward of 500,000 rupees (around 4,500 €) for anyone who kills the woman (AsiaNews ).
The atmosphere in Pakistan is getting hot. It should therefore be taken seriously the death threats directed against the Minister for Minorities, the Catholic Shahbaz Bhatti, and the former minister and current MP Sherry Rehman, who at the end of November he presented a proposal to revise the law on blasphemy. "Today we are experiencing particularly difficult times in which every citizen liberal in Pakistan is likely to be killed by fanatics," admits Peter Jacob, secretary of the Justice and Peace Commission of the Episcopal Conference of Pakistan ( Fides, 13 January).
