The Catholic woman who spent a decade on death row in Pakistan for a blasphemy charge released her first video from exile, in which she urged Christians worldwide to remain faithful to their beliefs no matter the cost.
Asia Bibi, 54, whose 10-year imprisonment drew condemnation from government leaders worldwide, filmed a video that emerged Saturday on social media.
It is good to see Asia Bibi finally leaving Pakistan after years of persecution for alleged 'blasphemy': bbc.co.uk/news/world-asi… #AsiaBibi #blasphemy

While the case of Asia Bibi, a Christian, has seen prominent news coverage globally, other cases, more associated with secular criticism of religion, have been downplayed.
For example: Soheil Arabi in Iran en-hrana.org/soheil-arabi-s… (like Asia Bibi, his so-called 'blasphemy' was equated with activity against the state)
Dopo 8 anni di carcere, una condanna a morte per blasfemia (un reato d'opinione, dunque una forma di Fascismo) e la succesiva assoluzione, oggi è finalmente libera #AsiaBibi, che ha ottenuto rifugio in Canada ricongiungendosi con la famiglia theguardian.com/world/2019/may…
Ora che Asia Bibi è libera, si scopre che altre due persone (i coniugi Shafqat Emmanuel e Shagufta Kauser) sono in carcere da 5 anni, con una condanna a morte in primo grado e in attesa dell'appello, con la medesima, assurda accusa: blasfemia foxnews.com/world/second-c…
Non importa quanto sia inverosimile l'accusa (un devoto musulmano sostiene che Shafqat Emmanuel e Shagufta Kauser, cristiani, gli avrebbero inviato SMS blasfemi in inglese, benché siano analfabeti e non parlino inglese - un equivoco nato forse dal furto di una carta d'identità)

In Lahore, 17-year-old Christian boy #PatrasMasih is accused of #blasphemy on social media by a local cleric. An angry mob led by Tehreek-e-Labaiak gathered outside Masih's house in Shahdara. Police lodged FIR under 295-C and the boy's father Indreas was arrested yesterday.
Later, teenager accused of blasphemy #PatrasMasih handed himself to the police. Situation in Shahdara remains tense as several Christian families have fled the area fearing for life. However, Pakistani media's silence in such cases of #blasphemy has become a new normal. #Pakistan
Pakistan govt proposes same sentence for blasphemers, false accusers. Easier said than done. Once someone is even accused of #blasphemy, they are doomed! The mob doesn't care about the accuser/accusation. Case in point: #MashalKhan #AsiaBibi #JunaidHafeez tribune.com.pk/story/1637205/…
