Some accused of 'blasphemy' are campaigners, politicians, journalists. Others are ordinary members of communities, accused out of prejudice.
Activist or ordinary person, religious or non-religious, these prosecutions are always a deep injustice. #EndBlasphemyLaws

Update on Asia Bibi final appeal of death sentence for "blasphemy": Reports from Pakistan suggest the Supreme Court has reserved judgment today (they will issue a final decision later - but no time seems to be specified). Not unusual in itself. #FreeAsiaBibi
Our hope — as must be the hope of all who value social justice and freedom of religion or belief — is the court will overturn her conviction, and comment on the atrocious state of 'blasphemy' law, its dire consequences on people and communities, and the violence it engenders.
Asia Bibi's trial has put her on death row since 2010, her life derailed, her family are threatened… all due to a single malicious accusation made against her in a moment of social tension. And politicians have been assassinated just for saying there's a problem. #FreeAsiaBibi
