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.
With the camera pointed toward the ground to hide her face, Bibi thanked Jesus for her freedom, in the first-ever recording of her voice, and maintained her innocence of the crime for which she was punished.
"I, Asia Bibi, daughter of Salamat Masih, believe in Jesus," Bibi said. "And today, I want to declare one thing to the world: that I had not done anything wrong to deserve what I suffered for 10 years.”
I was a prisoner on death row, I was accused of blasphemy, so I was granted my freedom through Jesus and I never let my belief weaken." #AsiaBibi
